The new home page turned out pretty well, and actually works. It might even be worthy of making it your browser's default page (hint, hint).

Everyone will be too busy already during the holidays, so we're skipping a December contest. But we're already planning January's (but don't let that stop you from submitting images and ideas)(or even prizes, if you're a vendor).

I put up a new Retouching Challenge today. I'd like to put them up more often, but it's so hard finding images with clear copyright and approval of anyone recognizable in the image. This one is a self-portrait, which solves both problems (another hint, or to be less subtle, please send in self-portraits).
