The first picture is so dark that I cannot see it at all on my equipment, but that might be by design? [sblock=Not for the contestants]And I think the second picture is just brilliant. To me it is full of fantastic stories. I see a tired and worn out Hero resting in his quest surrounded by a seemingly friendly landscape, but on closer inspection it seems to be a Dragon sneaking up on him. And that last one is just plain creepy. Maybe a bit too much religios symbolism, but that just makes it more creepy.[/sblock]A very challenging and interresting choise of pictures. Very good work on running this contest and selecting pictures.Edit: I did some tinkering after finally getting some picturemanipulation software working I "found" the picture in the dark after using a gammacorrection of about 2 and it was very much there I could not see at all in the original, so I think the original picture might be too dark. But I guess that Siala (as the artist) is the one to have the final word on that?[/sblock]Håkon</blockquote>
