Wow, you are brave!!! You only signed up a few days ago and already entered two challenges!
Big pat on the back for jumping in at the deep end.
Now brace yourself for the critiques, just make the most of them and ignore what you don't like.
Most of us here are very friendly .... and you'll get used to the few feral, scary members ;-)
Welcome to the delightful madness of our beloved DPC.
Welcome welcome welcome. Hope you get a lot out of this site, it has been wonderful to me for the past (almost) year. Of course I am slightly more insane but I probably would have been anyway.
Welcome - this being your first time you have to make sure you are not pressured into anything you don`t want to try. Remember, you call the shots - the first time that you enter* may be rather scary and can sometimes be a bit of a painful experience - but with practice and time you will find it a lot more comfortable and you can try new and exciting things. Remember, try not to be too creative early on, just work on your technique and eventually you will find that your subsequent entries will be much easier and far more enjoyable. You have to bear in mind some of the girls and guys here have been at it for ages - dont be intimidated by them, although looking at your profile it shows that you are packing some impressive equipment!!
