    Default Theme: Abstract Winners

    Wow, do you guys make it hard to be a judge. Eileen and I have worked hard to come up with our list of winners. This was a highly subjective (aren't they all?) theme and and I'm sure the list would be different with another team of judges. Each entry was a real treat to view and discuss. We based our decisions on the following self imposed guidelines:
    Creativity/imagination, vsual impact, and artistic interpretation of the theme within the context of OOTB.
    There were 18 entries from 5 different artists. This does not include moderators and publishers. Way to go guys !!! So here is our list.

    1) D Mills: Cityworld Population Explosion
    2) Mark Fuge: Abstract AGF #7 (although the entire series was a joy)
    3) Kerry Perkins: Abstract Tree Bark
    4) Jackie Schuknecht: Flight Abstract
    5) D Mills: goodbye to Autumn

    The postings by the moderators and publishers were another inspiration and show the talent that lives here in this forum.

    Beyond that, it is difficult to separate images, and all are honorable mentions.
    Eileen and I have enjoyed the opportunity to have judged these images and appreciate the efforts of all who have done this job before.
    Thanks to all, you are all winners in our book. And now Eileen and I are off to visit a marriage counseler :):eek::D

    I think it was a great week for all who shared their visions. It was fun and let us expand our horizons.

    Congrads to the group and also the others who participated amoung the mentors!

    Thanks Dave and Eileen for judging this as well. Hope your pre-nep agreements don't fail either of you! ;) :o :D

    Now on to a new world adventure. I have been trying, though this is a little different than the abstracts. We'll see what "develops"! :eek: :D

    Make A Great Day!

    Hi Dave and Eileen...I want to thank you both for taking the time to evaluate the images. I also want to offer congrats to the other folks that took the time to enter their images. A fun project I believe we all enjoyed. I laughed when I read the last line about a marriage counselor....
