Default FinalGear Bi-Weekly Photo Assignment #4 - THE WINNER

This topic, "Cars" was obviously going to draw a lot of entries. 12 members saw fit to have their entries in the running, but only one picture took a full 44% of all the votes cast!

This week's winner, with his image entitled "Driving in Circles," is Iben!

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g188/FinalGearPhoto/Contest%204/a3df26e0.jpg

Taking 29 of the total 66 votes, this picture powerhoused its way to the winner's circle.


Second place, with 15 votes is BerserkerCatSplat's image, "Success and Failure". Not a bad pic, if I do say so myself. images/smilies/wink.gif

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g188/FinalGearPhoto/Contest%204/d6986313.jpg

Now, this gets interesting. For the first time ever, there is a three-way tie for third place!

mancs' shot "Late Again", jayhawk's "The Wait", and arosamike's "On a Knife Edge" all took 14 points to snatch 3rd place!


"Late Again"

"The Wait"

"On a Knife Edge"

Only one vote away from making it a 4-way tie is mautzel's photo "Where are the Cars", taking 13 points with an interesting twist on the theme.
