The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.

feel free to light my entry... it's a pretty big bomb, though, so stand back...

Why not just toss 'em into one of your many villages still ablaze?

I have dropped .2 in the past few days and personally am glad the votes have slowed. I was dropping like a rock! If it stays above 6 I will be happy. Especially for my first real shot at a fireworks display.

More views than normal challenges, don't you think? :)
and you can't beat 23 great comments! Thanks.
Time to get busy and reciprocate. I've only made a couple this challenge.

With 8 faves during the challenge, I would be too (right now, I'd settle for one). Congrats!

Really? I thought I was just being greedy. ;-P

You must be in the ribbon hunt with those stats.

I'm always in the ribbon hunt. :) Not sure though with the score if its good enough. There may be a lot that are higher then me since they are all beautiful but I can always hope for top 10 :)

No hoping necessary. With those stats, you don't need to see the score to know it's a top 10 finish and a personal best for you. W00T!

Do you really think so? That would be SO awesome!!!

I just checked the home page and the latest winners scores. The only one that won in my score range was Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, but there were only 93 entries I believe. This one has 159 so I think it will be close if I make top 10 but would love that! :)

It should be a high scoring challenge despite the low number of entries because fireworks are just plain cool to look at (brilliant light effects, fire, vivid color, pretty patterns, long exposures...). I figure the top score(s) will be over 7, and the 10th place cut-off will be around 6.5-6.6 with many entries in the high-5 to low-6 range.

You never really know, though.. I've had a 6.55 take the blue, and a 7.07 that was only good enough for 15th place.

Welp, for this one I predict the top winners simply must be in the high 7's. I'm not there so I still hope for top 10. I still love my entry so that is always a win win situation. :) That is incredible though to get a 7.07 like you did and be 15th. WOW! Bummer!
 07/11/2006 10:36:46 PM · #119
man... someone gave me a 4... waaaaa

That is a good guess. I am hovering just a small notch below my highest score ever, even though i believe I have better photos. Funny how that works....

Looks like Cutter may have a ribbon!

I tend to agree. As of this writing I'm at:

Votes: 215
Views: 401
Avg Vote: 6.3907
Comments: 10

Therefore, I predict the top 10 cut-off will be 6.391 :-p Just kidding. It's all about baby steps. At first, hope to get in the top 30, then the top 20, and then the top 10.
 07/11/2006 11:40:10 PM · #123
OH YEAH, definately. Cutter must have a ribbon! CONGRATS ahead of time Cutter because if that doesn't ribbon I will be totally shocked!
 07/11/2006 11:44:07 PM · #124
this will end up to be my highest score.
everyone should stop voting now just to make sure. :-) unless you are just about to give me a 8-9 or 10
 07/12/2006 12:30:42 AM · #125
It is my highest as well... but I wish the voters had stopped a couple of days ago as my score has dropped .2 in the last 60+ votes :-(.
