    Wow, quality entries in this round

    My preference based on the suggested guidelines:
    Aesthetics: A2
    Creative usage of stock image: Both but A2 had a more creative usage
    Typography: A1
    Overall concept: A1

    With the A's, I've decided to go for A1 because I can personally relate to it (re: lack of sleep last night and this week in general). A2 did a beautiful job with the escalator, crowd and layout.

    It shall be hard deciding between the two B's so I'm just going to leave it for the moment..

    WOW! This is a hard round to decide who to vote for. I really like all the images...

    A1 - I really like the concept of the image and I like the drabness from the overlayed textures. Like Saint, I can relate to this. (gets the vote, after staring for about 10 minutes)

    A2 - I also like your concept and the coloring is great. I don't know if it was intentional, but I find it ironic that only a few people are moving up the escalator.

    As hard as the A's were, the B's are even more difficult. (dead even on voting too.)

    B1 - This image is honestly beautiful. I love the richness of the color and the imagination in it.

    B2 - Another beautiful image.I love the use of the stock. Where B1 has somewhat buried it in the image. you have just stuck it in there front and center. As much as I love the first image, this one is getting my vote.

    Overall, these were some of the best images from the whole competition.
    Cant wait for the final showdown.
    What the world needs now is a nice hot bath.

    If that's what it is, that's ridiculous. I mean, I've got access to various IPs and I could create accounts for each and vote for myself and no one could prove it was me. I'm sure most of you could do the same.

    Haha. Caddishradish is my girlfriend Caitlin who gets excited about these competitions and likes to vote on all the images. Is that inappropriate? I never told her to set up the account. She did this of her own volition.

    For the record, she has been voting for the past three years, and this is the first time anyone has noticed.

    Looks like 3-4 less than last round. Round 3 was the same. The major drop off was after round 1...

    i guess you're right, although last year still had about 30 votes in the final 4. And 40 votes for the finals.

    just looked at the MM threads in the CL and no one ever really responded unless they were already arena participants, so stirring them up will be useless....meh.

    I'll just have to ask her.

    Sorry to cause controversy, I suppose I could've announced myself earlier.

    I have been voting for the past three years, ever since I heard about it when my boyfriend got involved... even my mom became intrigued when she heard about it and wanted to see the images. At this point, if my boyfriend stopped competing I would still like to vote. You guys have a pretty nifty thing going here.

    I created a new account because I forgot my old one completely. The old noggin failed me this time so I guess there were pretty substantial cobwebs that formed since last March.

    I've never posted because I didn't feel qualified to, silly I know. I just thought I would silently enjoy things (and I have been enjoying them).

    Hmm, yeah more voters would be great. The B's are going to be rather close.
