    I didn't make it into this one, couldn't really come up with an optical illusion, that wasn't just a PS job, and time was limited due to Christmas. Good luck everyone.

    I didn't have time to do the one I wanted to do because of the holidays. Today, while out with my daughter I found the perfect optical illusion just waiting to be photographed....... :cry

    Wish I could have entered but with all the demands of the holidays I only had time to vote. Admittedly, I was also having a lot of difficulty finding or creating an illusion. Happy New Year, GP

    Oh, the irony! I had decided, with all the lists of things I had to do, not to try to get an entry in this time, as I had no idea what to shoot, and don't know much about Photoshopping, and no time to play. So, wouldn't you know, as I sat down for a minute to rest from my holiday tasks with a glass of wine--VOILA! This shot magically appeared before my very eyes!

    There were a number of really cool entries this time...thank you for voting for my picture. You made my day!

    I'm so happy that I made it in the top 5 with you and the others. You all are such wonderful photographers and I made it. For that matter, this place is full of wonderful photographers and without all of the advice you all have given me along the way I wouldn't even be near this far along. Thanks everyone for your advice and encouragement!! :D

    I was looking for the round to be announced in a new thread just like the regular challenges, I guess. I'm not sure how they work since it's been a long time since I've done the one Mega challenge. Is it ok for me to participate in the DSS 93 if I qualified for the next Mega challenge?

    I see on that page you linked this info:
    Mega Challenge #15 ~ January 23 - February 6
    (Top 5 from rounds 89–94 eligible to compete)

    Yes it is okay to participate once you have qualified. You can qualify as many times as you are able to. That is part of the fun.

    The date you have specified for the next MC is correct. :D
