Perfection!! Wish you the best of luck with this one. I would hang the blue ribbon on it. Just curious: that date "carved" into the wood in the future.

Sensational - bordering on cartoonish - but certainly eye-catching.

The 'sign' - or whatever - at the bottom of the middle pane, on the bottom row, completely distracts. Had that not been there - this one would have been near the tippy top of my choices. How unfortunate.

Gaia. Perfect. When first I saw this entry, my thought was, "What was the photographer thinking?" But you know what? THIS image is the one that stuck in my mind, so I had to come back to say: subsequently, I have become genuinely impressed with your interpretation of this assignment and wish you good fortune in placing in this challenge. Even if you don't place - what a lovely portrait of this matron, matriarch, best mate and soul mate. Someone is a very lucky fellow.
