Oh, no, no, in my usual stupid way I was trying to be entertaining, not start a fight. Just get a beer and forget the popcorn.

I just get a kick out of how Cindi speaks. Now I'm getting all red in the face. Bye!

Yes. I bet you won't enter a shot of them. TOS DQ.

I took a shot of a flower today that looks like female genitalia.

Is it like a Georgia O' Keefe?

Sighhh, I wish!

I just attended a photoworkshop with PEPITO - yeah, one day I wanna be so famous I don't need a last name! :P

Anyway - back to flowers - hmmmmm creative....hard to say what it IS, but easy to see what it isn't and if you divide the gross ingenuity quotient by 46.74322467 and add the square of the inspiration factor the mathmatical formula for creativity works everytime. *giggles*

Side note: THIS is Pepito

Maybe it can just be a symbol like PRINCE used to have (or does he still have one? lol.)

Love the front page pic from PEPITO's website! Nice stuff!

Just entered my flower offering. Creative yet subtle, bold yet delicate, awesome photo, yet scores 5.5.

I used to drive by PETA headquarters every day on my way in to residency. If they couldn't find me then, they never will! Muahahaha!

Well, entry #60. If creativity is rewarded, I'll be up there. I'm sure mine will be unique. I don't really think it will win, but it was fun doing...

I think you almost have to be outside the main stream on this one. That usually backfires on me (re: Desolation flag entry)

I am surprised there are only 60 entries so far. I know there's still a lot of time but I thought there would be a gazillion flower entries by now.

I think this is one of those challenges where we need separate ribbons for the men and the women. It's not fair for the guys to go up against women in this challenge. Women are the ones who usually receive the flowers so they spend more time staring at it. At least longer than the five minutes it takes for the guys to buy a bouquet at the florist or grocery store. :P

Yeah to be looked at again and again after they have been made into a wreath or something. It's just not fair! :P
