February Winner!
I hate to spoil this but recently crediting the stock has slipping.
Please remember that you MUST credit at least one of the stock images I chose for March to qualify as an entry for the March challenge. This involves providing a full clean link the the stock deviation. If you do not do this I will not accept your entry. There are no exceptions, the dragon must be based on one of the 3 images so that means you have used one of the 3 images and should give the image the proper credit it deserves as your inspiration/reference.
Now onto the fun part, February's winner is

REMEMBER if you want to enter the March challenge you must credit the stock properly. Its not hard, I have provided a How To, you can find this on our front page below the current journal. You must also notify the stock provider by sending a link to your picture. Often they have a rule for how they want to receive that, please check their rules.
Also remember that I check the rules of the stock images I choose, there should be nothing to catch you out like non-commercial use or no off-site use, if you use other stock as well you must check that provider's own rules yourself. I'm only looking after the stock I pick, if you break someone else's rules that's your problem to solve.
