so ask Hellraiser to make one for you. Quit yer cryin'.

I expect the unexpected dammit!

Chill, woman!! I just posted!!!

Five hours to deadline and still 18 entries short. One of those is mine, lol. I'll get it done in time.... hopefully

The key is to not start your entry before the 5 hours left mark. That's where the real inspiration is

no... thats when Murphy's law takes over.

Lol, yeah, that is the way to do it, alright

By 2:30 in the morning, my brain was playing tricks on me, convincing me everything looked great. "That looks totally real. You're done. Go to sleep.... go to sleep.....go to sleep." My eyes couldn't even focus.

I woke up in the morning to see what I had made and confirmed that sleep deprivation and chopping do not mix

If I'm lucky enough to make it to Round 3, I will not procrastinate again. Who am I kidding? I'll do it again

Oh guys what is going on in round 2 .. I'am really shocked right now i thought that i am going to find amazing chops and amazing ideas but actually i did not believe my eyes when i see round 2 ..

i think there is only 3 or 4 image i can count them are deserve to be in round 3 . well i did not see that coming
after all that is my opinion .. Good luck all i hope to see something special in next round .

And i think that > the shaman and Sh!za < going to meet each other in next round .. beware arc

Get out of here... you screwed up my prediction... i put a lot more faith on you, and you couldn´t make it even to round 2... lol

And you are sooooo wrong... There are a lot of good chops. Much more than the previous h2hs, where most matches were like... this, this, this, this... with obvious choices... this year we have quite a few surprises... quite a few deceptions... but overall, lots of good entries... (much more than 3 or 4, as you state)

Youu dude stop play in my mind you know clearly there is only 5 chops in this round deserve to be in next round .... And i think you saw abraham he did not make it like we imagine him .,, and am glad that am out from the first round because if i make it to this round i was going to win ... The shaman make his amazing image to let you know that he is coming

any who i guess next round going to ve more fun.

This is basically round 1 at photoshopcontest.com. I wouldn't expect every chop to look like it belonged in round 5, but not good enough to make it to round 2? OUCH. I haven't seen all the entries yet, but I'm impressed with what I've seen so far in relation to previous H2H round 1 entries.

maybe after you see all the entries you will make your choice ..and why you do not expect every chpp to look like round 5 .. We need to take this more seriously . We have to make our best ... We need to expect every chop to look like round 5 because when you make sonething you need to make it perfect ...

That´s exactly what I meant... round 1 matches (or, round 2, due to the few matches of round 1) in previous years were matches with entries good enough to make it to round 2 only... this year we had quite a few great chops... I counted 10 excelent chops in there... round 1 used to have only 2 or 3 excelent entries... there were 5 deceptions, from choppers I expected more than they actually posted (what is understandable, hencing this is round 1 only)...

And as for Sean... his match was one of the matches I had to choose the less worse entry, instead of choosing the better one... I don´t think he´ll get to round 5 if he keeps chopping that way... what isn´t really a surprise...

It´s a tournament... not a regular contest... you study your opponent, and don´t waste energy doing more than enough to beat him... it´s always been like that... and that´s the way most people that get into the final 4 work...

i disagree with you in this and that why the shaman lose against me last year because he just make it good not perfect... And about that his image this round is awesome actually one of the best ..but i think you need to study your opponent and make more than enough to beat him..

1) There's no such thing as perfection. And 2) There's no such thing as perfection.
