Thanks! It's been a few months of very intensive practice, I think. That, and reading every tutorial that even remotely looks like it might appeal. :)

Thanks for the comments on the specific ones -- I was proud of the way 10 came out. The manip wasn't all that difficult to put the two of them together, but the background was a pain in the butt (the arch of the window didn't match at all), so I'm glad it came out as well as it did. And 31 I'm very proud of too -- thanks!

Yeah, not sure if sgslash_itest is going to make it or not, but I hope it does!
