Tim (Thoughton), I just deleted your comment from the Buddha photo, as any comments should be here, rather than with the entries themselves.

For anyone that missed it, Tim said:

I just spent 5 minutes searching the large version for the decorator! The ladder in the lower left threw me off the scent for a while. The whole experience was a lot like Where's Waldo

I finally found him, closed that window and then and only then read your description. Doh!

Sorry Dan, didn't realise we're not supposed to comment in the competition gallery.

(That comment box should be hidden until judgment day! :twisted

I am afraid that many haven't understood the theme of the competition. Or maybe I haven't.

For me, one of them doesn't seem to fit the bill, but all the others do in some form. Obviously we see things differently.

I think three of the entries fail to meet the theme of the competition, but then we all see things differently so what do I know?

Well I think that I have understood it.

I could not find a miniature K20D to use

It seems to me that's for the judge to decide and no-one else.

Absolutely right - we are just debating amongst ourselves.

In theory the judge does not read this Comment section, once the first entries come in.

Yes, that's absolutely true. But its also true that it is very frustrating for the judge to have to tell somebody that their entry doesn't satisfy the requirements of the competition, and it would be so easy to just read the rules, and try to apply them when entering.
