Best of 2005 - DPChallenge Forums

Hrm. I just watched it go from 599 to 600.

I wouldn't be surprised if it went close to 800 in the last submission rush near deadline.

It will be my third submission. I have a pic I like better in my portfolio, but this one has more human interest and I've not posted it to my portfolio.

It is really nice, but considering my past history, I'll be happy to make the top 600.

If it breaks a 5, I'll be happy.

If it breaks a 6, I'll be really happy.

If it breaks top 10, I'll probably be found in a straight jacket yelling "IT'S NOT REAL! WAKE UP!"

or something...

I STILL haven't submitted mine! Just can't decide. Should I go with one of my favorites, or the one I think will score best or some freakish combination - I shot thousands and thousands of shots last year......boggles...

you still have some time Cindi ;)

I have to say I've waited a while before I submitted my entry. At the beginning I didn't even want to submit; whichone did I have to choose? But my eye kept going to one particular photo, so that's gonna be the one!

I had two shots that I considered to be under serious contention for my "best of 2005." One was a shot that I personally loved and was so satisfied with how it looked, how it turned out, etc. The other was also a great shot that I personally didn't feel as strongly about, but everyone to whom I showed the two, said they thought the second one was better, and would score better.

Guess which one I submitted??

I'm desperate to get out of the five-points... ;-)

Thanks for the encouragement, guys. Could several of you come to my home, sort through my 2005 work and choose for me??? *giggles*

Thank you for the compliment on my Angel pic, Jeff, alas that one has already been in a challenge :(

Amber, I love your description of this insanity. I love the insanity!

I'll come up with something, will prolly score terribly and make me angry for two solid voting weeks!!! lol

Still debating on which photo to enter. Last week I showed three people at work the 10 shots I was deciding between, their faves were most unexpected to say the least. Which goes to show that I'm out of touch with reality, out of whack with everyone else, and should just not enter anything.

But, there are two I've narrowed down to ... with a backup I'm-wishy-washy kicker thrown in for good measure.

I'll decide sometime today, enter it.
Change my mind tonight, resubmit.
Change my mind tomorrow morning, resubmit.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

I dislike immensely when Wishy and Washy come to visit, they are not welcome.

"wishy-washy" is a phrase used to describe someone who can't make a decision :)

I am weller. I finally had a full night (and half a morning) of sleep! And the fever has broken (the saying of which reminds me of "Mooorning has brooooken ...". Now the sun shines outside and all is moderately well in the land of snow.

If Wishy and Washy are at your house then who are the two here?!?!? Must be the evil twins! Yeeeee---iiiikeees!

Send me your top five, I'll choose your entry. I'll send you my top five, you choose my entry. Easy Peasy.
