Host Honorable Mention:

Dusk On The Red Line by Agschmid


As I am not a star member, I could not post poll threads, so Agschmid helped me by posting the prelims. At the finals stage, there were 11 entries due to ties, Agschmid among them. Since the poll threads only take 10 entries, Agschmid graciously withdrew his photo and again helped with the posting the finals.

A tip of the hat to Agschmid!!

And to December winner SollyMack for his help with my first hosting thread!!


And thanks to all you DUers for your terrific entries!! See you all next month!!
