As we didn't announce a jury and polls are fun, we decided to let you guys be the jury and decide who wins this time around user added image

The poll will run for two weeks and is anonymous, however to avoid any conflicts only votes from members registered in September 2011 and before that will count.

Please take the judgement criteria into consideration before you vote so weigh these things against eachother;
- Creative Approach
- Technical Skills
- Final Image

And yes, voting for yourself is fine if you thought your image was the best user added image

My vote goes to the Duke, out of the ones that finished, his was the only one that met the high expectations I had. Would of been better, I think, if the city was textured and there was a bit of post work for a tad of morning haze or something, but oh well.

All the others were still great though, still took me ages to decide user added image

Haha dave, I laughed... it does look a little springy. No, the thing in that image for me was the pencil looks a bit out of place, distracting... I won't say who I voted for, but they were all really impressive and well done. Congrats all!

Well it's a shame GECT didn't enter or better said finished, because that was the best work I saw quality wise.
As far as ranking goes:
-5TH place: djbrede
Although I do like the way he presents his office, the quality of the images is conceptual at best ( like a render from a CAD package)
-4TH Place: THExDUKE
I could be wrong, but it looks like a bunch of photographs comped together and although it has this pop art feel. As a piece of art it is not bad, but the untextured background makes it look unfinished, I am really astounded that people are giving this the highest marks if I look at the poll result.
-3TH Place: Eomer42
The structure/building has something familiar,but I can't remember where I've seen it.
Although I do like the mood and atmosphere, it feels empty and unfinished which the maker tried to compensate with a nice camera angle...so kudoos for trying to do that user added image

-2th Place:MrTerminator
It has nice atmosphere, and compared to most of the other entries has an overall finished quality, there are some things that are wrong that makes it just not a winner image, but it is a worthy attempt.
-1TH Place: puneet.3d
I don't care what the poll says, this one is of all the entries unmistakeable the best image especially the last image with all the nice lighting effects.
It has a nice original theme which is incorporated throughout the entire image, it is finished and feels finished, I mean look at the design of that chair, I know it looks simple, but that is always the case when you see a finished piece of art, conjuring it up from an empty desolated Maya/lightwave workspace is quite something else.

Good luck to all the entries
