Drat! Why didn't I see this before? Boris, I am very sorry but your image is 900 pixels wide, which is past the pixel width limit of 800 pixels square. I have to disqualify the image. I really wish that I had picked up on this sooner!

Nightfly will represent the film forum this month!

No problem. It's my fault, I should've been more careful. It was a pretty tight vote anyway
