Hello everyone, my Upside down shot is more then crappy, it's down right $h!ty. To date it's the worst challenge for me yet and although I might grab a ribbon for my efforts, I don't fancy the brown, it clashes with my eyes :)

On a better note, I have a great idea for a poverty shot and I have the time to do it. My wife is away with Isaac filming this weekend and that frees me up to do the shot. I just have to find the location and wait for the right time of day and I'm all set.

How's everyone else doing this round?? I sure hope a crap load better then I am.

I'm really sorry team, it's not that I'm not trying, I just can't seem to find my grove and that sucks. Much better things will come, I promise.

MAX!

Max - I'm very sorry to hear that. But, to add some fun to your pain - check the forums for a thread called "personal Worst" if you haven't already. there are a number of us that are competing in this weeks challenge for our own personal worst score.

Sounds like you might just win....

Sure do wish they'd validate this! Got yet another accusation of breaking Basic Editting rules. Frustrating because I know that it's affecting my score.

What a horrible week for all of us. I swear to you all I try and try only to have my hopes and ideas dashed. I'm terribly depressed over my daughter being away at college, so on and so forth. I'm also worried about letting you all down. I'm trying extra hard this week...getting all my 'hundreds' of images on Flickr before the last day. I'll try to stop whining, but here's my score:

I feel your pain.....btw, I did not cheat! I'll put sugar on my sour grapes and hope for the best next week. Do you guys think people are giving out low scores to boost their own team??? Sad to even think those things.

No, it shows that the validation is still under review.

My latest comment:

you are gonna get disqualified
or can you do that

Hey Team, I'm in for poverty this week but I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it next week. My mom is having surgery and I'll be spending about a month with her. She has internet but it's really slowwwwww. Hopefully I'll just miss next week and have a chance to get one in the following week.

At last my Upside Down image was validated, but my score suffered because it took so long to validate.

I'm working on my shot right now. It's crappy weather here so I couldn't use my original idea so I had to modify things. Finished up-loading so I have to go and see how things turned out.

Be back soon.

MAX!

I agree with the team.... I just as soon forget the last week as my upside down is as low a score as I've had in a while. I feel good about my affluence shot:) Go Polar Bears

Wow! Last minute voters are great! Maybe I'll hit a 6.0! LOL
