Hey, I won the BORING MEDIOCRE side challenge!

Doesn't that just seem like such a perfect Team Suck kind of thing to do?

And I won it with a shot that I had to enter as a punishment for not getting the lowest score in the speed Free Study.

There should be some sort of Team Suck ribbon for that accomplishment, Jeb. Congratulations. Now do you get to hand out the punishment?

I don't think I have to mete out anything at all.

This was a fun exercise to satisfy a weird desire by ursula to have some recognition for the middle of the pack entries that are so oft overlooked.

I think it's only fitting that a Team Suck person should win, don't you?

And there were only two of us competing!

I'm going to be pretty MIA for the next two weeks, and possibly a little longer while we get situated in our new house.

Hi Everyone. Back from my brief vacation in Colorado. It was a fun, but short time.

Wow, you all have some amazing photos in the last couple of challenges. I'll try to comment on a few tonight!

Just a note......I'm kinda choked up, so I'll just link it. You guys are the best....and you all mean so much to me. I'm blaming some delirium from this damn bug that I'm into my third day with.....

Here's the link....

And this was what provoked this random outbreak of emotion....



You guys are awesome, and I love you!

I feel like sh*t and am going to bed.

I think I stuffed up BIG time, with one of my entries, in the challenges.
I have decided not to withdraw it, or ask for a DQ, so that I learn a valiable lessen.
I am just so mad at myself, and disappointed, and also embarrassed.
I feel like an ostrich, or a emu, and should bury head in the sand.
Oh well, there is always the next challenge to look forward to.....

Shez, you can always ask here at Team Suck for someone to review an entry (via email) before you submit it, to make sure it looks the way you want it to. They won't vote on it so it's all perfectly legal.

Sure, you can do that! Just ask here - people here will be more than willing to help you out. Others have done it before you. The person who helps you out will agree not to vote on yours and all is good. Always helps to have another eye or two on a picture, you know? Keep shooting - your eyes still "see" pictures just fine!

Whoo, I have an entry for Candy and one for Impressionism! After not entering much for a while it is very awesome to have two at once.

Shez..what makes you think you "stuffed up"?

Can't say until after the challenge is over, but I did kind of stuff up, and will let you know after rollover. I really am so annoyed with myself.....

There is no such thing as a stuff up, there are only entries which are so artistically extravagent that the masses simply don't understand.

Do not churn yourself up about it.

Maybe you should beat yourself up just a little bit - if it's part of taking it seriously. You do have the option of cutting yourself some slack though, which is recommended if the beatings do more harm than good :)

I'm running a couple of 4.6's at the moment, so I'm feeling for you...

Howzat go?

The beatings will continue until morale improves!

Don't do it, give yourself that break.....you're a good photographer and when you're trying to shoot within parameters, you're automatically hamstringing your creativity to a certain extent.

I've been trying for two days to take a shot that I like and get it to fit into the Bokeh challenge. It's NOT going to go.

Instead, I'm going to take the one version that I like and put it in the B$W side challenge where I think it'll be okay and then I won't stress about it.

If I find something later today to enter, cool, but I find that if I'm not truly happy with an entry, it bugs me worse when it does poorly.

Who needs that?

I have a magnificent entry in bokeh with a title that (nearly) no one will understand. It'll be fun for those who do though. I shall be miffed if it runs at 4.6 :)
