    Congratulations Everyone!

    What I like about having more than one judge in a round is you get a totally different perspective on what someone else likes.

    I will be posting my comments in the gallery after my dinner.

    Jack: Where the hell can I get eyes like that?
    Riddick: Gotta kill a few people.
    Jack: 'Kay, I can do it.
    Riddick: Then you got to get sent to a slam, where they tell you you'll never see daylight again. You dig up a doctor, and you pay him 20 menthol Kools to do a surgical shine job on your eyeballs.
    Jack: So you can see who's sneaking up on you in the dark?
    Riddick: Exactly.
    Thanks for the compliment Wess - but I think you already shoot really well. I am still blown away by how well your Chef image stood above the crowd in that round.

    Everything you say makes perfect sense, - but what would Riddick shoot with? Some sort of infrared digital kodachrome? Not that I'd be willing to kill anybody for it..... Hell I can't bring myself to steal stuff much less kill people. Maybe there is some sort of Lasik surgery available though - You tell the doc you want your pupils locked at a permanent f16, then you train yourself to blink - 25 times per second in bright sunlight, or once every 5 minutes when it's dark.

    Thanks for your comments on the Chef image. We'll see if I can pull off another win sometime soon, or if it was just anamolous luck..... I've only been hanging aroung smug/dgrin for a couple months or so - how often have you won? How many lifetime pro accounts do you have? Maybe I can buy one from ya?????? I'm sure Kerry would go for that.... w/mc

    Just to be clear I have only ever won 1 lifetime account.
    - Thank you SmugMug! -

    Wess, let's steer this thread back to where is should be.

    Congratulations to all of the participants in this SOOC challenge you all have taught me something by letting me participate in helping pick the finalist for the voting round. Look at your world from a different perspective every day and capture it. It really is nice to see how enthusiastic and passionate each and every one of you are.

    Now go vote! wings.gif

    Sherstone is right - let's get back on track. Being an old school film shooter I want to compliment everyone who participated on their in-camera skills. I honestly figured that a lot of folks would be lost without their Photoshop or Corel. Turns out I was dead wrong. What a great pleasure to work so many talented and creative people. Thank you all for listening. - wess
