THis is so exciting to see that we have so many entries to the contest - way to go everyone :) Just a reminder - Images have to be approved before they are uploaded to the contest area - and this can take up to 24 hours - but all the images are time-stamped, so that is not a problem. Some times there are site hic-ups where the contest entry does not upload correctly, if it has been 24 hours since you uploaded your contest entry and you do not see it in the approved area, please do as you did, and post a note to this thread - that way we will know that your entry was received and not sent to some far off galaxy :) Nick - you are doing an outstanding job gettng to the entries as soon as you log online - no need to apologize :) I have been away on business the last couple of days - but I am back now and will be sure to check the contest area for Nick when he is not online! I am very proud of everyone in the fractal forum for posting so many beautiful entries to the monthly challenge! WaAaaaaaaay to go :) ladynimue
