First of all, let me say that all of the entries are not only interesting, but very beautiful and everyone did a tremendous job! So many interpretations for one photograph. But my votes consist of one key word - photograph. Some look like drawings or paintings and even though makeup can be done to work wonders on a real person these days, I interpreted the rules for us to choose the entries that looked like a photograph. Photograph to me meaning life like or real. Some may interpret differently. My votes are as follows:

1. backwaters
2. doug

Well I found this really difficult as my expectations were quite different to how others obviously perceived it. I took this as more a marketing exercise on the basis that it was to drum up funds for an intended movie so presumed this was the main character and a marketing exercise. On that basis I expected either a very 'cold' princess, a very evil princess or a spectacularly beautiful princess.

So,

1. Lonk
2. Mikkimicole
3. Graphics23
4. Splata
5. On Focus

....... and then I am not sure

There are so many really good entries. My choices are based on those that were done according to the rules and that look the most natural.

Well here's my votes... I chose the 5 that most met the criteria of still appearing like a photograph. There were many other good entries, but I feel as if they crossed the line between illustration and photo!

1. Doug Colwell
2. Ratz
3. Dennisu
4. Jeffere312
5. PhotoB

Good luck to all.

1. Graphx - not my idea of crystalized hair but thats something thats very subjective as we don't have a real frame of reference for it.
2. Lorraine - very natural
3. Doug Colwell - I guess we weren't told ALL the hair had to be crystalized Really liked it - could have done more to intensify the eyes though
4. PhotoB - very nice
5. Lonk - my favorite of all the entries (liked it better before the tiara though ) but I just don't believe it as a photograph - otherwise this would have been #1

Special mention to Chillin - loved it, just didn't feel it met the criteria.
