I agree. But I figure the only way to do that is to just keep taking pictures until I figure that one out. So 'consistently taking and submitting pictures' is on my list.

My goals for 2007.....

1 - Remember to renew my membership, as I have now been a member for nearly a year, due to my winning a free membership from alfresco & sir_bazz (Renewal due by the 22nd January 2007)

2 - Learn as much as I can, so that I can improve to be a much better photography.

3 - Hopefully to improve my average score, closer to a 6 or better.

4 - Dream of winning a ribbon.

5 - Enjoy the DPC friendship, and to comment on as many images as I can.

6 - Learn more about photoshop, especially layers.

7 - Pray our personal life, will improve, re our health situation.

8 - Don't think of giving up photography, (Which I seriously have thought about lately) due to my health issues, as I am finding it harder and harder, to get about. Please give me more time, as I still have so much I want to do and achieve, re photography.

9 - Count my blesings, that I am here, each and everyday.

10 - To try and live my life, by my Quote for life: (see below)

Today is the best day of your life, enjoy, and make the most of it.....

I'm seriously, Don.

And I´m not talking about winning a brown ribbon with a 10 from you. It's a big challenge, maybe the biggest challenge, catching a hight score from you and still having the votes from the majority.

If that'll happen, I think I'll have a superior photo.

Tell me about it! I think it took me about 3 years! :-) The challenge now is to keep up to his standards so he doesn't change his mind and delete me. ;-P

Okay, I seemed to do pretty well with my goals for 2006 so I'll try this again. The only one left on my list from 2006 that I didn't accomplish was to raise my average to a 6.0. I only went from a 5.5442 to 5.6862. So carrying that one forward, here are my new goals for 2007:

1. Get my average vote recieved up to 6. (Currently at 5.6862)
2. Add a Blue and Red ribbon to my 2 Yellows.
3. Beat my highest rated score of 7.6108.
4. Get to 500 Faved photographs by others.
5. Get to 130 Faved photographer by others.
7. Actually complete my Photo-A-Week project.
6. Continue going to GTG's to meet even MORE DPC'ers!

Of course, these are all just for fun. :-)

Although it is statistically provable that a 10 from me is a curse, a handful have broken that curse. Here are a few recent examples:

yellow
4th
10th
red
