Well done on your win @Pixey Hats off to all placers and entrants, sorry for a difficult theme, one that I couldn't even come up with an idea Thanks to Pixey for holding down the fort until I get things finalised.

Well done to lynxster4 and Pixey on your placings. Thanks all for the votes, It was a very close vote this time. All fantastic entries from all too. Thanks to Pixey for looking after the comp for me too, a total star and very efficient on here

A little bit of time to play. Photo self taken of local Marina.

Thank you all for your kind words. It means a lot to have such great support. Mum had a nice send off today with a lot of the family present. Sadly on monday 23rd of January I lost a niece at the tender age of 33. It goes without saying that the family is crushed. Not a good start to our year. I will return to host the comp in the near future, but not sure how soon. Once more, many thanks for the condolences. Those I have not yet rep'd I will give them when mine are refreshed again. Drew.

Well done pixey and scooter. Great entries from all. Thanks to pixey for helping me out for a couple of weeks. I will return, just a sad time for the family right now.

Ok. Thanks. It wasn't before

@scooter Nice entry sir, but you have posted it in the discussion thread

Once again due to low turn out in this weeks SOTW Manga / Animee comp, I will extend it for one more week only (Jan 6) Will take it from there to see if there are enough entries to set up the poll. There is not much interest in SOTW in past months, let's hope at least two or three more entries can be submitted.

Obviously due to the upcoming arrival of Santa and all things festive. Folk are occupied with other things, so I have extended this weeks sig of the week (Manga / Animee) until December 30. Same deadline time (7PM UK Time) Time conversion in entry thread. Hope to see a few more entries after the mince pies have been eaten

Quite a few images in this weeks sotw are not showing, so at the time of typing I am unable to host them for the poll. Will try again on Saturday 5th Nov.

Just a quick heads up. The entry period will be closing tomorrow (4th November) not the biggest turnout this time, but I do feel three weeks is enough to submit an entry.

Top class plugin Red, Great work indeed. An example.

A fantastic plugin Remake. Kudos for the creation. Here's an example after playing around with a few blend modes and curves+
