Mitchell: i never saw a critique thread for yours (probably my fault), but i just have to post this somewhere...

That was my first idea for this challenge!!! tried myself as a model, yuck, gave T a go at it, she wasn't into it, and then I gave up. Excellent execution - I thought it was great when I saw someone else had the idea!! :thumb

Great set of finalists. This was a tough one, I had a really rough go of it and ended up empty handed. Congrats to all!

I definetely agree! All submissions were really fantastic! Hosts must have had a very hard time choosing. Finalists are stunning! Wow, it's difficult to vote on this one!

Congratulations to all entrants. The entries were great and show a great deal of effort. In my opinion about 5 entries were only narrowly edged out by the competition for top 10. It just gets harder and harder to narrow it down to ten. The quality of the entries just keeps going up. I tried to pick 10 out of the 34 entries. I got to 15, then it got really tough. Ginger, I love your gulls. Obelix, I love your moody daisies. And, Brian, I love your yellow fish. But, I have to say, in the final elimination, I would match with the judges on at least 8 out of 10. Now for my vote for #1? Eeenie, meenie, minie, moe, - will it be (in no particular order) devbobo's "Outback Australia, Gubbs' "Long Walk", Pathfinder's "Sparrows", or ehughes' "Eyes"? All winners in my humble opinion. :clap :clap :clap :clap
