Hello everyone!

What a great challenge today...great works, many of us awarded more 5/5s than ever before. And our congratulations to the winners and participants, who numbered almost 150.

The quality was really very high. Situations are constantly changing, but our chatroom seems to be holding up well.

See you today at the usual time for another round!

Peace and Love,

Naturx & Doublecrash

Hello everyone!

A good challenge today, no doubt... and then we welcomed back into our arms the pilgrim Doublecrash who finally arrived in his Sicily.

Here are his words (interviewed especially for the occasion), "I'm glad to be here, I missed you...the quality of entries was incredible, even better than a few days ago. If I really have to be a PITA -- and I am one -- then I'll tell you that 83 voters out of148 entries is really low. Let's blame it on the weekend and see how it goes, but if the ratio doesn't improve we will have given a big disappointment to ourselves first."

Always the usual cheerful guy, our Double -- in any case, see you today at the same time for another challenge, and let's try to vote, otherwise we will have to put up with Grumpy Double.

Peace and Love,

Double & Nat & Shey

Very nice--love the detail on the easel.

Very good!
