- I agree with both answers. Although I think it's probably more
- fun to create new images, whatever you consider suitable to submit
- is what gets put into the portfolio.

- As far as I'm concerned, the purpose of the theme "restriction" is to
- force people to be more creative. If all the themes had to do with
- what you were good at, there wouldn't be as much space to learn
- things by participating.

- Texan "winter scenes" sounds just fine to me. (Which reminds
- me -- I have some great pictures from a Trinidad Christmas, that I
- might just look thru for a possible second photo).
