Oh now you tell me after I've got the knife out!
I think geese are older than 120 years so I'll put them in the pre 20th century category if that sounds suitable to all.

And thanks for doing whatever image magic it is you do to put the picture in the post Leon. It is appreciated (and seems to be sticking, so one up for Twitter over FB for links it seems)!

Very nice - I particularly like the basing

Leon, does an artillery limber and piece count as a vehicle?

That'll be fine in Vehicle, or you could try it in Open - Single Base instead?

Do we get to see how the voting is going before the end, or is it  case of 'wait and see'?

voting done - phew . Have to say it was very tricky picking between things, they were all amazing

That's most* of my votes in also. Well done to everyone who entered. Initially, I thought 5 votes was too much. Wrong! A few more votes in one or two categories might have been useful. Alas, photographic quality was decisive when trying to assess quality of painting. In an ideal world, all entries would be judged on a more level playing field if all could have been photographed equally. Such is life.   

* Elephant in the Room (has anyone else mentioned this?)? I was uneasy about one category, so I abstained. Apologies if I have misunderstood what a montage is but one entry looked like a montage of 4 images to me. In the interests of "a level playing field" (excluding the Army category, everyone else only got 2) should it be cropped because it is a very good entry, perhaps even a winner and deserves to be considered, imho (but on equal terms with the other entries)?

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

I'd not picked up on that so I've edited that person's entries.
