Welcome to the fractal gallery & forum tdierikx. When I was a "noob" I found a great deal of encouragement from the people who knew more than I did so I think that you'll find whatever help you need in here. Just ask. And Nick has been more than patient with me asking stupid noob questions when I first started entering the contests but I've had so much fun that all the trials and tribulations were worth it. Enjoy your stay "T". I think you did an amazing job for your first image, I'll look forward to seeing more from you.
