Congratulations Alessandro! It is a great pleasure to see your work rewarded as it should, given the creativity and execution quality. It is true it was not that easy to find a good word to illustrate, especially for non-native speakers, and your choice is perfect. Well done!

Congratulations Roz on your ribbon! I am so glad it won one, as it was clearly my favorite of this challenge. The textures are simply wonderful, and the whole image is extremely interesting to stare at. Marvelous.

I'm very surprised of the score this obtained, it deserves way more in my opinion! The scene is funny, I love your both expressions watching all those unexpectedly flying toys fooling around :) The angle is also clever and works perfectly with the action. Better luck next time I suppose :-/

Yay for cats! I'm sure they would be incredibly hard to beat at Poker: when they decide to, they can be unreadable. The lighting and colors harmony are perfect once again Samantha, congratulations on the top 5 :)

Thanks a lot Susan!
For the lightsaber, I used a plastic toy, that I dismembered in 2 parts, photographed separately: the handle first, then the blade itself. Since the latter was made of translucent plastic, I used black cardboard as a custom adapter to a studio strobe: this setup permitted me to obtain realistic reflections on the tank. Then in post-processing I enhanced the colors and added a 'glow' effect.

Congratulations Jen! What a funny image, I like it a lot. Not mentioning I am fond of cats (did you know my last name means 'kitty' in Polish?), so I'm very glad yours won :)

I agree with Bear, the hair is wonderful, and your choice of color for the background is perfect. You have a beautiful daughter indeed, and you surely know how to lit her and give her beauty justice. Congratulations about it, and of course about the ribbon.

Thanks a lot Paul! In fact my wife is a vet, which includes the dental care.

I actually love the aliens, and the labels are pure genius. It really looks like a real cover, and I wouldn't be surprised if you'd actually get requests from real bands :) Great work, very convincing!
