Thank you kindly, that was a nice thing to say. I've put you down as a friend but it's not showing up yet on my profile page...sometimes there's a glitch on this site so I will be patient. Have fun.

Don't worry if you screw up because the moderators are monitoring us and our conversations so if you do screw up they will politely tell you. The guidelines are pretty straightforward. For photography you can manipulate the photo but not selectively like they do on that other site. This ought to be right up your alley, keeping the photo fairly pure.
Also, it is nice because when the contest finishes you can see your percentage....and that is a great way to asses how the image fared.

Thank you very much....I like to see your smiling face.
