I didn't enter, and I'm thankful for that. There are some stunning images here, and I'd be lucky to make the top 50. About 20% of these entries deserve ribbons!
Almost did it again. Emptied my card at about 20 till.
Chose 3 and edited them, chose one and submitted with under a minute to go (didn't even add specifics).
All things considered:

Happy with it for a 5 minute edit & submission.
The voting has just begun so there's really no need to stress over your score this early in the voting process, in my opinion, as your score can change so much within the first few days. I used to worry that my score would fall a lot in the second, third and even fourth day but I just watch it and see where it goes. I only worry on the last day of voting if my score is really low. Then I get really worried if I can't get out of a rut of many bad scores (like now). So, I just continue to take pictures of things I like and I don't worry if others like them or not.
I was just on vacation and my family was making fun of me because I always had my camera with me but that's when I get those rare photos and I will share those after I finish post processing over 400 shots! I just took pictures of whatever I wanted and I turned quite a few into desktop wallpaper while on vacation which is when they saw them and they really liked what I had done. Granted they were comments from family so maybe they were supposed to say positive things because I'm related but nevertheless I appreciated what they said.
I know this got a bit sidetracked and I apologize but I always see these types of threads pop up a day or so before or right after voting starts. So just go out, take some photos and, most importantly, have fun!
I also wanted to say that there are many great photos in this challenge and it's going to be tough to vote on these. I can already see myself giving a few 10s in this challenge and that's a testament to the overall quality of the submissions. Good luck to all who participated! :)
Working on my personal best to date at the moment! BOING!!! Not gonna get too fired up yet....LONG ways to go! (crossing fingers!!)

Well, congrats on some very nice entries icelanders!
thanks, and congrats to the rest of the world! It's one of the best weekly challenges that I have seen here for a long time. Good luck!
I agree that the quality of the entries is very high. I got a bit of a heart stop when I saw the first page with all the thumbs from Iceland worrying if there might be many of us Icelanders shooting the same spot.
