No we dont have to be in the same one but I will be entering the members and 1 of the open challenges so the team have the best option for my score so I would HOPE everyone else is thinking along the same lines, its a team effort so we need to get it on.

I am SOOOO ready for this WPL3 it aint funny. Looking at getting my FIRST EVER ribbon for it too with some eyecandy

Starts with the next members challenge 29th OCT
keep an eye on This place so you can know what is going on. I believe it is worked out by average scores of each member and team so we stand a good chance.

Thems fighting words MAK.....my portrait in landscape is OK and solid....not special but well executed....I think.

Also....does the WPL start with Wind II....if so I'm screwed (or at least rushing something together tomorrow!)

RALPH:
Come over and I'll buy you two pints, so don't worry about loosing to MAK and me too much! ;-)

OK so we all know... WPL3 starts from the next members challenge 29th AFTER wind (thank god, i have nothing for this one). also will be the NEXT open challenges will be included in week 1 of WPL so we MUST kick ass starting with the NEXT member challenge and also the NEXT open challenge.

the ones up now are just for practice.

Purple - I think we can get the man a few pints of guiness yohoho.
see you at the front page for portrait in landscape (will i ever live it down) This will be my FIRST ribbon of many yohoho (you watch it will bomb out and finish bottom 50% now i opened my big gob)

Ralph - Im a gambling man mate if you score higher than me ill buy you a beer and cook your dinner for you too.. but if you loose...

If fighting talk is the order of the day, then lets put aside what I actually think of my entries.......

You're all going to loose. You're all going down.....down town!

I sizzle. I am a Nikon D-GOD.....kiss my feet...you loose.

Actually, based on my current crap form I predict 5.2 to 5.4 for both my free study and portrait in landscape entries.... yo hum. Although I love them as photos for me.

Just for the record, try to score your wife's image the same as anyone elses. It's hard, I know, I have two daughters at DPC, they hardly ever enter, but if they do, I have and continue to feel the inclination to give them 10s regardless of the quality of their image. I will not vote on their images as a result. That might be a good solution for you and your wife, don't vote on each other's entries.

BTW - I wish bokeh were part of it, would have been a pretty decent start (6.65ish right now).

OK, so just to be clear, the first week it's against the Llamas, and it does not include the two open challenges up now (portrait in landscape, landscape in portrait). It will be whatever member challenge is announced Sunday night, and whatever open challenges are announced on Tuesday night. Right?

10/28/2006 01:26:41 PM · #195

well thanks for that ursula but she is the enemy now so we both agreed not to vote on each others images, we thought that was the fairest way seeing as its a team thing. However we always have and always will offer each other opinion and help suggestions ect so best we dont vote on each others images i think.

6.6 is heading ribbon i think, well done

Thank you. I wasn't laying into you in particular, there are a number of situations like yours at DPC, and it was just a reminder. Helping each other out is great. As a matter of fact, I might ask you for help here and there :)

The 6.6 won't be a ribbon IMO, there are way too many good photos in that challenge. I'll be lucky to be top 10.

great news. it is windy as Chicago here today. Stuff blowing all over the place.

Wind is not included. Neither are the other two currently posted open challenges. Unless I'm totally misunderstanding.

It starts with the member challenge announced on Sunday evening, and the first week includes that member challenge and the two open challenges that will be announced on Tuesday evening.

I'm quite sure I'm right about that.
