    Oh my word that was close! Huge congrats again to "Simpsonbrothers" for a well deserved victory, the quality was through the roof for this challenge, possibly the hardest voting I've ever had to do. I've just had one of the most traumatic weeks of my life, no internet connection, sudden house move and a whole load of stuff that doesn't bear thinking about, so to come =2nd here was a massive boost this morning wings.gif

    Thank-you to all the participants, everyone who voted, and all the love and support that is around at the moment. Now all I need is chocolate!

    This was the highest vote total in any challenge since #62. Most of them have been in the 2-3 per voter range. This round was more than double the previous high. Tribute, I think, to the quality of the photos in this round. This round also had the most voters. The next highest had 98, the lowest had 76, and the average is 88. (Fun with stats :D).

    It also astounds me that the first place photo was chosen by less than half of the voters. In the last 6 challenges, half of the time the top photo was chosen by less than half of the voters. And the best that any of them did was 67%. I suspect that some voters are choosing only their favorite. mwink.gif

    Congratulations SimpsonBrothers, and to the runners up: Johnloguk, ic4u, lkbart and learnin.

    The stats are interesting, and interesting looking at what has been voted for the different photos, and how the subject has been interpreted by the different photographers.

    Looking at the photos is a great way of learning what can be done with the camera.
