As you can see from my comment these men, son and father-in-law are definitely true Austrian men, maybe they just wanted to be comfortable for the day.

Very well done.....and one of the few including my own entry that actually adhered fully to the challenge description imo...

I did read that and even posted a thread about it in the current challenge topic but it was removed with a message to me that it might not be a good idea to post that while the challenge was in the voting stage. My own entry was entirely based on that full challenge description but was voted down by most voters as they obviously didn't read or recognise that it adhered to the full challenge description. Neat's entry certainly did and she deserves the Red and imo should have taken the Blue. I am glad for you that you won the Blue as it is a beautiful entry in it's own right but like you yourself said it does not adhere fully to the challenge description.
