I'm not sure I will do so again, as the 72 hour deadline is just harsh.

You should! Lordy, you're good, and I want to read more from you.

So our pictures go up Wednesday? Early Wednesday? Basically the sooner the better for me, any time after 5 tomorrow.

Mythago, how early do you want them? I was going to post them about noon EST on Wednesday, but I can post them before that if you like. Let me know!

Any time is fine for me. If earlier works for Macbeth, by all means, early it is.

And lo! It's picture time for the Final Round. Match 4-1 is Mythago vs Macbeth, and I'm very excited to see what you come up with. Six photos, 7000 words max, and 72 hours.

Mythago, I almost made this four photos of hands and two images of stone spheres, all in hotly anticipated vengeance from last Ceramic DM, but I've thought better of it. Let's see what you think of these instead.

Impress us!

This seems like a good juncture to tell Sialia that her art is amazing, and to tell my fellow judges that they rock. Thank you, everyone.

Were supposed to make a story out of those? Looks like an excersize in freee association mixed with a Rorshache ink blot test.

Oh, there are stories buried in those pictures, all right. In some ways I think this is easier than other picture sets. :)

Or maybe I'm just saying that. It's hard to be sure.

I do actuallly think they are in some ways easier then other picture sets. I think that they don't clash as much as some of the other sets, but that they also don't have too many linking factors. Especially the one with mystery in it's title by Sialia. What the heck am I going to do with that one?

Now that I am not trying to write a story, I can just look at Sialia's art. I will refrain from deep commentary here.

Sialia, this one almost makes me cry. If there is a place where you want more commentary, let me know. (Perhaps in your art thread?)

Back to the pictures and the stories. Yes, there are definitely combinations that flow together easier than others. I'm not sure I would have the energy to link these together, but it would have been interesting to try. Good luck to both of you.

Can I take a moment to say P-cat has done an excellent job with the photo selection and groupings?

Arwink and maldur I will not praise yet, as not to jinx them.

:p

Ai. I was secretly hoping you would make it to this round, 'cause I knew you'd see things in that one. I'm still curious about what you'd have done with it--maybe there's a good post for over in kiln-fired, once the entires are posted for this round up here.

If you just want to talk about it, go ahead and email me.

Macbeth--don't sweat the title of Mysteries 1. When I started doing the illustrations for this competition, I broke them into three sets: Mysteries, Secrets and Visions. And then I gave them all really generic, meaningless names like "Mysteries1" "Mysteries2" "Mysteries3" and so on. So the title itself is not really a clue. Unless you want it to be.
The photograph embedded in the collage is by Jeff Korenstein, and I borrowed it with permission.
If it would help, I have a much larger resolution version of Mysteries1 and I could post it if there are details you want to be able to see better. I pared it down to a standard size that would fit easily on most monitors and download quickly. The original is huge.

They've sweated their way through three other stories to get here, so I don't think they count as victims. That makes them volunteers.

Daulnay pointed out the lack of smack talk...

So after some diligent Google searching, I was able to find ANOTHER part of a draft of The Scottish Play! It doesn't look like they scanned in the conclusion, sadly.
