Thanks Thomas, very nice of you to say so. I do feel like this is an image I
will come back to to enhance further in the future.

If I ever get around to it I will try to make the macros a bit more memory
friendly. Should be relatively easy to get some improvements. Probably easier to
buy more memory though..

Glad you found them, I am guessing the large one, one over pond and one in front
of the tree? I will post a spoiler image with the locations soon.

Of course, please do use it if it helps. This is my third moss macro, I think it
may be my favourite except for close up shots but this should be better on
memory usage than at least one of the other ones.

Yes. Big one (1); over pond (2); front of tree, right side over bark 
(3). I believe there is another one (4) in front of the tree but almost 
hidden in the moss but hard to see.

Yes, I can believe you will. The scene is full of potentials.

I have not yet studied your files, but I suppose you could. The 
challenge is to do this without need for extra memory ;-)

Is it? I shall check that. I might have made a temporal snag :-)

I think it is showing the end of the voting and not the deadline for entries.

Best regards,
Michael

Ideally, the clock should display both.

Yes, I failed to notice that I had entered the wrong date. Thanks for 
reminding me!
