Nick - The movement of the site was what jumped out at me. Like I said, I did do a routing but I changed the scale, which made the site smaller but still allowed me to become intimate with it and it's nuances. Being a virtual blank canvas, I found it facinating how everyone "dressed" it. While I saw it as a barren site (probably due to the side slope contours around the edges - which looked like it was a landfill to me - something I'm very familar with - probably why that's what I saw. Then I open up one entry and it's a completely forested site and it kinda makes your head spin.
I expected that the rougher terrain would be fully utilized along with the creek, but the site was so huge that it would be tricky to include it all, so seeing what was left out was fun.
Steve - you'ld look like that too after trying to wrap your head around 13 good submittals (luckily the wife buys the 5 lb bags of Starbucks at Sam's Club).
Gary - you'ld be surprised at how many good/great holes were penned. Perhaps we can highlight some later.
Garland - No, thank you, it was a fun exercise. We spend our lives being judged, it was nice to be on the otherside for a change.
I'm not adept at posting visuals here but I did send it off to Charlie with the suggestion of AA #3 being the same site but at larger scale (smaller site) since everyone is now intimate with the site. However, it's his call - he is the Master. Remember, I said the problem with ranking is an arbritary set of criteria must 1st be established and therefore, there is an inherent bias in those criteria. If you were to develop "The perfect wife", I'm sure she would be different than what others would come up with as we each would seek something to conform to our priorities of wants and desires and our own definition of beauty.
Andy - quite true. The site is an embarrassment of riches - kinda like a Brunch Buffet at a 5-star restraunt - it all looks sooo good and you could fill your plate from just one table and be entirely satisfied or try to taste a morsel from each and be left wanting. However, one could make an argument for the opposite too.
