There were some really tough choices in this one as there seemed to be an extraordinary turnout. Great contest, and congrats to the winners, honorable mentions and all who participated.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
Congratulations to all. :o)
Was fun watching the images appear in the contest gallery as time went on. One never knew what to expect and most certainly, there were a number of very pleasant surprises and interpretations.
A big well done to all participants and a thank you to Cat for her efforts in coming up with a unique challenge and organizing the contest. :o)
Cake is on me!!

Corner pieces excluded of course. >:o|

I still retain some issues with Caedes staff here but I still wanted to subscribe to this column. :o) I've looked carefully at this contest results, & although I found Pretty Ugly an unpleasant image to observe I was pleasantly surprised that the judges were broad minded enough to award Sammy "Best Overall Interpretation" :o)
However I really love frozen fire which has been awarded "Best Serious Interpretation" well done to Mary on such a beautiful image. :o) It was a strange but enjoyable contest to observe.
Thanks Caedes
