DECEMBER UPDATES
Modular userpage joy! Oh yes, PhotoLust's userpage is now even more full of awesome, with extra space being given to favourite news, collected tutorials and your submissions to the collective gallery. Yay!
December's gallery theme is Naughty or Nice so I'm sure everyone will have lots of fun with that one. As always, you can find submission info further down the page.
This month's poll is just for fun. Whether you celebrate christmas, hanukah, kwanzaa or just the season to relax and eat a lot of nice food (I'm going with the last option), us photographers often end up experiencing parties through a lens. So answer the poll and tell everyone Do you take photos at parties during the festive season?.

Every month, you will be invited to submit your own work to PhotoLust's gallery. Some months will have submission themes and some will be open submission (no theme) so please keep an eye on the journal so you know what you're submitting to!
Submissions are only open for two weeks(ish) out of every month to give me plenty of time to catch up with all your notes, and are limited to ONE submission per person per month, so please check the dates before you submit anything - help me stay sane!
DECEMBER'S SUBMISSION INFO
Submission dates: 07 Dec - 21 Dec
Submission theme: Naughty or Nice
Submission limit: ONE submission per person only
Additional info: All genres of photography, all skill levels.
Please include: A link to your deviation AND keywords
Subject: Please put 'December Submission' as the subject of your note.
Anyone can submit to PhotoLust, but I do ask you to please watch the account before you submit. If all the other watchers will be seeing your submissions in their devwatch, it's only fair that you see theirs too.
If there's anything that you'd like specific critique on, feel free to include in your submission note a short message which I will add to the description of your piece in the gallery. You don't have to do this if you don't want to, but it is a good opportunity to ask for critique.

These are featured because I like the photos and want to share them, and I only look at the deviant who submitted them to check that they aren't club submissions.
PLEASE don't gripe about how many comments, favs, views or DDs any of the pictures of the artists who submitted them have. I don't care. I don't look at that stuff. I'm only interested in the individual images and how fab they are.
If you'd like to suggest an inspirational photo for next month (please ensure that it was submitted recently), send a note. Please don't suggest your own work, thanks!

December's gallery spotlight is on the Conceptual gallery. The Gallery Moderator is FaMz and the gallery description reads
Conceptual images that show an idea and is planned out before the shot is taken.
Here's some recent goodness from the gallery.
