Easy themes are for suckers and certainly aren't iron.

I'll fix the links once the galleries get set up and what not. (They don't trust me with any real admin rights )

Wow - last theme had me totally stumped for a week - this theme wound up bringing a model to mind that is perfect (at least in my addled mind). Going 54mm on this one - super excited! Best of luck to my opponent HamishMcGreigh!

[supervike]

Good luck to all! Great first round, some seriously memorable entries.
