(edited for entry image confusion)
To temporarily help avoid confusion, here is the Ooseven image #16, in case you can't see it.
#16 - I Wonder
.
its not this one? this was the 1 i voted for
That's from his WIP. The final one is what UnifiedBrain posted. It is what shows up for me in Ooseven's entry.
And voting gets off to a rocky start.
Misty, I sent you a PM a while back. You can change your vote if you think it is necessary.
I hope that we can stick with voting here from this point, thanks. (I am withholding my vote in case of tie-breakers)
Entry # 4
Title: escape from City Noir
Artist: Stezza

Entry # 11
Title: A Study in Gray

Entry # 30
Title: Death by Death... nice to Have a Choice
Artist: Headwax
Comment: Lighting, POV and poses are excellent. Could be from an old movie, very convincing.
Phew! So sorry there are or were problems with seeing my entry #16 - thought I fixed it .
I really appreciate you guys reposting it here
I babbled in the WIP thread about the greatness of all of the entries. I could easily have had three other groups of four with no overlap. Two thumbs up. But in the end, there can be only four.
We've got a collection of people doing wrong, spying on people doing wrong, and avenging themselves on people doing wrong. And a lego noir.

Title: "Mother! They're Still Not Sure It Is A Baby!
Artist: DesertDude
I admit I only took a hard look at the entries when I had to decide on my winners - then I realised how hard it was to choose because so many are deserving for different reasons . However these are my votes.
Entry # 3
Title: Aviator
Artist: Sezza
B&W Gel - Cat1

Entry: # 22
Title: "You can't unsee this"
Artist: Bunyip02
B&W Gel/Portrait or Pinup/Homage: B&W Gel/Portrait
Comment: So quirky, so funny ! despite things I dont quite understand in the image and a rather flat render with blind gel all over the place but I just like it!
Close runners were #19 and #25 but those above got the final vote from me
What a great challenge. I really wanted to enter, but alas, I needed time to sleep and eat (plus I wasn't anywhere near my real computer). As usual, it was very hard to pick my favorites. You all are doing outstanding work, and all deserve to win. My picks are below, but I must apologize in advance as I didn't add any comments. My insane work load, living out of a suit case for the last couple of months, and having some dental and vision issues (I broke a contact
), simply has me a bit out of sorts (like in the Twilight Zone). But hey, I did vote and that's a plus!!!!

Great job UB thank you so much. And it's wonderful to have Fenric onboard - his plugins just make Carrara sing - and she was already a good singer!!
