As I understand it, it's not only legal, it's very ethical. Having the monthly challenges isn't meant to be a set of rigorous rules, but an opportunity to learn from and share with others as you explore some new technique or approach. The forum is the perfect place to upload WIP for feedback and helps. The perfect place for finals is the Vue d'Esprit gallery here. All my opinion...some people may prefer it just reversed. :: Either place is available. I was too busy during the road/path challenge to attempt one, but your perseverance, Rich, is quite inspiring, as is the results of your efforts. So I just might need to do a path soon. :)
