A great set of images to work with

I used parts from all eight, and went with an alien theme.

Looking forward to seeing more as they're created...

You view the images in this thread.

You post yours by replying in that thread.

Click on the Go Advanced button, then scroll down and click on Manage Attachments.

This will open the upload manager, which will allow you to enter your image.

(Max size 100K unless you're a Patron in which case it's 200K)

I'd just like to thank T for arranging this contest, there's already some excellent entries and I expect to see a whole lot more imaginative creations over the coming month.

Cool contest this month. The images are excellent. Now I just have to find a way to combine them so my entry is up to the great standard of entries already entered.

Unless I missed something I'm not seeing other images.

Sorry, Photo B. You did such a good job that I thought your gallery walls were from an "outside" source. Now I see they came from the Dummy pic. Wowza! well done.

Emily, anytime you have to drastically reduce or enlarge a file, you will lose quality. Just the nature of the beast. Pixels have to be toss out so there goes quality when you reduce. I still find "Save for Web" from Photoshop as the quickest and best method.
