I'm in a very dissatisfying place, sort of right in the middle between kiwi and itsimring and keith, and rikki. Not high enough to be happy, not low enough to be with Rikki :)))))

(just teasing, OK, don't go throwing eggs and saying that how unbecoming it is to put poor Rikki down)

hey... ya don't wanna be with me? i promise i took a shower this morning ;)

hey anything above me is always satisfying ;) like i said, i'll do the clean up down here ;)

seriously though, the lesson learned here is that it's all a matter of taste really. for this challenge, most probably entered an image that suited them but probably not the mass that comprises the voters... with a few exceptions of course.

as for me, i'm happy where i'm at. i'm above a 6 which is always what i strive for in challenges ;)

I'm trying very hard to get my average to go over 6. I started so low a couple years ago, and it's been a lot of work, especially because I've entered so many challenges.

I think that maybe, between Abstract and Motion Panning, I'll get it over 6. Then it's keeping it there!

Yes, well I'll trade with you Ursula. Ricki's score is looking pretty good to me. :) I'm happy with my picture and at least I have my average for now. Hoping to get a end of the week pick-me up and at least hit 6!

Of course, I am doing better than my last abstract entry, which got a 5.682 but has 14 favorites. I just have to face the fact that my abstract style is not DPC mainstream, at least when it comes to voting!

Mine's not doing so well. Maybe it's too abstract. :) I was suprised with this low of score I actually got a favorite.

In seeing Gary's score, are we really glad he's back? :P He'll ribbon in everything he enters. Just kidding Gary. Your work is such an inspiration here.

I want to find out if posting scores here really "curses" your entry.

Oh man, i can't believe there are like three hours to go before the weekend. I need a beer.

But hey, had lunch with the boss today. I might have to do some work down in Utah for a few weeks, so he told me the company would fly my wife & kidlets down for part of that time & we could do some holidaying.

Might be a plan.
