CONGRATULATIONS! to ocddoug for his winning image, "The Cup that Grew a Tree". This image is truly beautiful, nothing I can say about it will do it justice :) It also fits the theme of the strange and the familiar perfectly!

Ladynimue and myself had a very difficult time judging this contest after seeing all the amazing entries, and so we also have 3 runner-ups! Congratulations to gunsan, crystalwizard and retrocity for their amazing images.

Thank you to everyone who entered, and the next contest is coming soon :)

Thanks so much, Bluevenus & Ladynimue!! I'm truly honored to have won the contest. I didn't think for a second that I'd win -- there were so many AWESOME images posted. Take care! Doug

I think B&L made a perfect choice!
