I realize that 1st and 3rd place are by the same deviant, but nothing in the rules prevented it, so that's that. The voice of the people is not to be argued against. It is said the people have a tendency to be rude and riotous when you contradict them, and that responsibility shall not fall upon my shoulders.

The subscriptions have gone out, and the prints have been ordered.

Thanks to cfosgate, thanks to the contestants, thanks to the voters and this has been so unbelievably strange that I might just come up with another contest based on my personal likes on the amazing subject of women, beauty, expressiveness and emotion.

Which is in the end what it's all about.

When I ask to photograph someone, it is because I love the way they look and I think I make that clear. I'm paying them a tremendous compliment. What I'm saying is, I want to take you home with me and look at you for the rest of my life.
