A very high standard - I normally don't look as it puts my painting to shame.

I have voted and tried not to vote for anyone more than once in the entire competition. Did not quite do this as some of the entries were outstanding.

I was intrigued by the "Hedge Army"  this was a very versatile entry being able to be used for virtually all periods and locations - Obviously there are exceptions.  I suspect the owner was "hedging his bets" on winning.

However I did find the "uniform" a bit dull.  I also thought one of them appeared a bit gnawed and had some drool on it.  :)

Suspect the owner his hiding hid talents under a bush, Al?
Oh, my coat, thanks, I shall wear it while the countdown continues!

I shall have to wait until later to see the results as I will be away from my computer :(. The standard has been so high this year it's hard to separate so many wonderful entries!

Some unexpected winners, but most of the ones i voted for are 'at the top'!

I find it interesting to see what other forum members voted for compared to my choices.

Unexpected ?.....Dunno....But I think throwing the voting open to all the members of the forum, is a very fair way of doing this.

But like you, most of the ones I voted for came first or second....(I can see the votes....So in a lot of cases, my three votes went to the top three)..... Not in every category, though....
But those were the ones I could have done with a lot more than 3 votes !  ;)....They were all SO close.

We've got VERY deserved 'placed' entries, though....Congrats to them, again.  :-bd

Cheers - Phil
