Note - for the non-US folks in the crowd, there's a saying that goes "I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole"... Just thought I'd better clarify.

cosprenks, I am not a PS wizard by any means, but I can help with the basics. If you have particular questions, fire away and if I don't know the answer, I'm sure someone on Team Suck does! [/quote]

Thanks will do. I'm leaving for Vegas on Friday and hope to take some good pictures there. What I would like to do is post process one the way I do it and then have someone please tell me how I did it wrong (which judging from my scores I'm doing) and how to do it the right way. Sometimes I think I need a brick upside my head to get it right. :)

Congratulations to Team Novice!! They have the distinction of leaderlessly awarding an OOBIE and YAPPIE to persons of their choice.

Damn, that average is frighteningly close to six.

Post your OOBIE and YAPPIE nominations here, please.

oh! it looks like butterflies have outsucked everyone and we also have reached the absolute zero :)

congrats to team Novice!

I will be in minimalism and probably in frame, too. also in nude, free study and whatever comes.
I haven't been participating in challenges lately because of some personal reasons, but I feel like I have found some way out:) and I like this way, so I am in as many challenges now as I can.

Ask Timfythetoo - sprogs can come in handy for shutter clicking on occasion, too. Cats, on the other hand, are completely useless.

Wow, do I ever have that brownie recipe memorized now! Thanks to all members of the Brownie Recipe Club (you know who you are) for your suggestions and useful comments.

Just a quick addendum for the recipe - if you do use butter, make sure it is softened, not melted. Big difference between the two. And if you like nuts in your brownies, I'd guess that a 1/2 cup of nuts should be about right for this recipe.

A quick reminder as this thread can move pretty fast - hi, I'm snaffles and I want to sell pix to Shutterstock, so I am asking my TS fellows for assistance in choosing pix worthy of putting in a portfolio to submit to Shutterstock. Any extra post-editing hints to help enhance pix that just need a little more work would be great, too. I now have Photoshop 8.0 so I am up to speed in terms of that, now just need to know how to maximize the program.

So, don't be the only Team Suckee without a PM'd snaffles' mum's brownie recipe! Check out my portfolio, choose the 5-8 pix you like best and PM me your list!

Don't delay! Sometimes my pix suck, but my brownies don't!

Please, please, please don't take this the wrong way. But Shutterstock is almost impossible to get into these days. Many of the so called "pros" on this site have gotten a lot of rejections from them lately. Also not that I'm any better than you (cause I'm not) but I've tried 3 times with 30 different pictures that have all been shot down by them. Those same pictures were accepted at Fotolia, LuckyOliver and 123RF. You might want to try any of these if you get shot down by Shutterstock.

Thanks for the advice and suggestions for other stock sites - I thought I'd try Shutterstock at first, as it seems to be the best in terms of payment etc. I'll see how it goes! :-)

Good work! Hey, wanna get a really great brownie recipe? Choose 5-8 pix from my protfolio that you would choose to submit to Shutterstock or other stock agencies. Comments welcome esp if they involve post editing steps.

Hey, everyone, come on over to my thread about sharing your favorites among your own photos.

I can think of no better way to spread the team suck attitude than showing what we really like as opposed to focusing only on scores. :)

Another thing.....thanks ever so much for my OOBIE!!!!

I'd like to point out how thrilled I am to have tied Catherine because mine really wasn't that difficult of a photograph, just a semantics play.

Now the goat on the park bench.....that's just COOL!!!!!

Mine wasn't in the same category as hers, but I'll take it!

Thanks guys, and congrats Catherine!

Did

bryantbus ever get power back??

I peeked at my score for Exit, and think it's probably at it's apex about now. Should start a slight decline for the rest of the week, based on past experience. But it will be (barring a complete freefall) a new entry in my top row. Turned scores back off, though. It's good enough that it can meander where it wants and I won't worry about it. But not good enough that I have to wait for rollover. :-)
