Nope, not me.

Personally, I just gave up and entered the shot I had originally entered the day they opened the challenge, a shot made just a couple weeks ago. I drove myself crazy reviewing pictures ad nauseum, and for a while had myself convinced there was symbolic value in entering one I shot on Decembr 31st at dawn, but in the end I just spiralled back to the one I had first selected.

My best image of 2005 probably was my disqualified-on-time/date-error dawn shot that ribboned (and de-ribboned) in "High Contrast", but that one's obviously out of the running.

So let 'em roll, and debbil take the hindmost. I'm hoping for a top-100 finish. Anyone have a prediction on how far down the list the Lowest 6.xxxx is gonna finish? I'm guessing at least 75 images finish 6 or higher...

In the last "Best of", I think a 6 was good enough for 145th place ;)

In the Best of 2004, the very first 6.0 score finished in 158th, kinda scary huh.......considering there were 531 entries in that challenge, a number much lower than the one we will see in this one.

I think I'll just hope to finish in the top 500 ...

Judy, if the community were to place a bet on who would be most likely to vote on all, and comment on many, many...
it would be on you. You're a star :)

Thanks Robert. Just hoping for a top 200 finish although that might be stretching it ;)

Allright, the original file is as original as can be, I'm in!

:D
01/15/2006 02:56:08 PM · #87
I'll be happy with a 6 no matter what position that is - haven't had one since August or something! :P

This must be a record for submissions in any challenge, 690 and still time left!
I was looking at Best of 2004 challenge

Submissions: 531

Highest Score: 7.183
Average Score: 5.629
Lowest Score: 3.822

This time the competition is fierce, my prediction is lots of 5´s votes. Looking forward to seeing some of my favorite photographer´s improvements and skills, just hope I haven´t seen many of them before.

There's always lots of 5's in any challenge. I wasn't here much in 05 so most of the entries will be brand new to me. Only the people in my household have seen my entry. I took it in May and never processed it. Can't wait to see the entries!

705 now and climbing.

Just my opinion...but it seems to me with this many enteries there are a lot of people submitting who don't normally. I think there should have been a qualifier added that you must have entered at least 12 challenges in 2005 to enter. At least that way the best of would be populated with people who participate more.

yeah, this is somewhat ridiculous.. no time to vote on that many entries... sort of crazy...
01/15/2006 04:16:25 PM · #92
Top 700 and I'll be happy!

Yeah, no kidding. Or at least no time to comment. I get the feeling that there will be some great pictures that will be over looked because of the sheer number of entries.

I have and my entry was not from Iceland...LOL
01/15/2006 04:38:52 PM · #97
Haha...this is going to be freakin rediculous...

Can't wait to see the finish. I feel sorry for the person who will get last place, lol. "Yeah...I got 725th place..."

I'll be extremly happy to make it over a 6.
01/15/2006 04:48:21 PM · #98
oh my...

Blitz-voting it will be.... :S
01/15/2006 04:50:13 PM · #99
No need to blitz vote - you have two weeks. 50 or so a day would do it.
