OK, I tell bohemian to reset the votes, I think thats best as most of us went for 5 as 5 and not 5 as 1.
hang on, I give it another few days for voting also.
OK, because of the mixup, (half votes 1 as 5 points, half 1 as 1 point (1 IS 5 Points), we cleared the swurveymonkey.

Update!!
Comment here if you need to revote and I will drop your previous vote.
I think Barbult and Sedor and I made it wrong, I will remove those results, please revote!
I have revoted with the new 1=best scheme. There were some NAE that I would have loved to vote for, and soooo many really good ones. This is what I chose:
Best
1 (best) Warmblood #1 “The Rescuers” I love the lighting, poses and expressions.
2 Lady Winterlace #4 “She’s a bit big ...” Again it is the lighting, poses and expressions and the clever use of items that attracted me”
3 Lici45 #4 “Half-Toon Girl” I liked all those toon characters and the plasma burst or whatever that is in the scene.
4 Sasje #4 “Protect by the dogs” I liked the unusual lighting and the human and dog expressions. It is suspenseful.
5 Totte #3 “The mind reading in Area 51” It has cows and great lighting and clever item usage.
Funniest
1 (best) Denny L #1 “Pet T-Rex Can’t Swim” Such clever posing of the random items, and the holding breath expression is priceless.
2 Totte #4 “Nuclear power plant operator” I love the theme of this one and the way she is oblivious to the alarms.
3 Lici45 #5 “The New Maid” All the little clutter touches added make this one so funny
4 Obanion #1 “combining the wedding with the bachelor party” Just the thought that Michael would be so clueless is hilarious.
5 KaribousBoutique #3 “The Modern And Archaic Methods of Beating A Dead Horse” Clever theme, glad it wasn’t pulled for “violence”!
this is kinda difficult, not being able to see the entries together.
okay, found a method. i copy all the images so i can tile them - will delete after i vote.

5. DennyL#1. LOL. Very imaginative.
I had a really hard time voting, worse than ever, as there were so many super renders. Here’s my vote and I feel bad about the ones I left out - 10 in each category would have been easier.

Glad I didn’t vote too quickly and so missed out on the confusion.
I agree with Luci45 - chosing was pretty tough and 10 placings might have been a bit easier! I also feel bad about the entries I had to drop from my “short” list, but here goes:
Best:
5 points = Sasje#6 “SSSSHHHHT!” - I just love this one
4 points = Luci45#1 “The Stargazer” - really pretty composition and nice effects
3 points = barbult#5 “Contact” - it just grabs me somehow!
2 points = Luci45#3 “Purple Pansies” - the colours and lighting attract me to this one too
1 point = Sasje#1 “Hmmmm what kind of story…” - very effective light/shade contrasts
Funniest:
5 points = barbult#3 “Don’t Judge a Book by It’s Cover” - I really like the idea behind this one
4 points = Denny L#1 “Pet T-Rex Can’t Swim” - just love the weirdness and the man’s expression
3 points = emsim#2 “Need a Lift?” - love the expression
2 points = KaribousBoutique#1 “I don’t think we’re in NVIATWAS…” - the parody really appeals to me
1 point = Winterlace#4 “She’s a Bit Big” - love the concept again
Here are my votes again (with a few position changes). I don’t usually like to post them publicly but under the circumstance, probably a good idea. If you didn’t make my list you are probably on someone else’s, so don’t sweat it.
Best
1. Sedor#1 - Already commented on why I liked this one best.
2.Adacey#1 - Lighting, color, composition, and a seamless blending of items with idea.
3.Winterlace#2 - Very unique approach; well executed.
4. barbult#2 - Like the perspective, simplicity, and believability. Interesting depiction of the mundane.
5.Luci45#5 - Attention to detail is excellent. Amusing, yet seriously good social commentary on relationships.
Funniest
1. KaribousBoutique #3 - Fresh take on an old joke; seriously well rendered.
2. Pixel8ted#1 - This one actually made me laugh. The man’s age, his reaction, the pose, the cast, etc..so ridiculous it’s funny.
3. barbult#3 - Really enjoyed this one. Everything fits in the image and the day is perfect, pristine, and then it happens… hehehe
4.Totte#6 - I didn’t want to like it but I did.
5. emsim#2 - Enjoyable image you might find in an old LIFE magazine. Sort of poker dogs met Norman Rockwell.
