Hi there, I did look at each and every entry, I found my choice very difficult as to be honest there is about 10 to 11 entries in this contest that deserve to be among the winners. In the end I voted for the Welsh Witch, it wasn't better per se than the other 10/11 I have just mentioned, it just spoke to me.... And I found myself coming back to look at it while checking new entries :) Unfortunatly with a community vote you can't expect that people will necessarily like what you like, cuteness may be prized above anything else, funniness for other people may be the order of the day. I am going to refrain from pouring scorn on other peoples entries as to my mind if you did your best, regardless of anone elses opinion, YOU yourself will be proud of your work. I disagree with people voting blindly for their friends work, but I did take note of the sign community when I entered this site, and wether we like it or not inter site reltions will be at work in any contest with a community vote. The way I see it, it's a strictly ONE vote contest, or was when I read the rules. So this means regardless of your community standing/circle of friends you have to make that one vote count. This means that hopefully it will all even it's self out, so obviously the people who do have differing opinions like you two can then put YOUR votes to use. Hopefully the people who you think did great entries and put a lot of work in, my top 10/11 say WILL get recognition, but if they don't, they still have the piece of artwork...not a small achievement I imagine, and got the excitement and fun of taking part. They may seem small compenstations, but if you have put that amount of work into a piece you want recognition for your achievement, not your ability to make friends and influence people. After all your hard work that would be kind of a hollow victory I would think :) Ele
