But I didn't fail. I took an image I really like. The voters failed to understand it but that's not my problem. :)

In another way I also succeeded. I was able to sumbit an image I KNEW would totally bomb and DID NOT CARE. Yeehaa!!! I no longer have the fear of the sub 5 score!!!!

Sorry, I didn't mean you failed. It's just a saying. I meant interms of the WPL its always best to try. the fail paart was not directed at you specifically. for one how could I know? I have no idea which is your photo. sorry if you took it the wrong way. I apologize.

I am going to get a 4 on one of the cleanest and best(maybe a little boring) images I have ever done. 5.001 I can sort of live with, but 4 is pretty bad, considering it looks nice. I am a little disapointed for the first time ever.

I'm on cloud-9! I didn't shrivel up and die nor do I care that my image is bombing. I used to, but I've gotten over that. I'm free!

Sorry about trolling and sorry about the current state of my score Phil. It seems I took you for a ride giving you a false sense of security ;)

Ooops. Ok no more posts here. I'll keep quiet from now on. Promise :)

My worst showing to date, but I don't care. I know it's not the world's best photo, and I do appreciate the comments I've received thus far. I find it exceptionally hard to keep up with such talented people here.
