This field of entries was excellent evidence of how creative and imaginative Carrara folks are. I wish there were more prizes! Thank you to everyone who entered and to all who voted. With each artist able to win one prize the winners follow.
1) Bunyip02--overall challenge winner.

With the absence of someone identifying as a newcomer, it seemed appropriate to recognize the image with the second most votes.

It made me laugh. But then again, so did a lot of them. Closely runnered up by Diomede.\

I'm stuck - especially since I want to add more votes than this!
