Possibly my favourite of your LPL entries El Capitan, and not just down to the subject matter. Marvellous, as are the Masai Frank. Very well done both.

The oranges in the sunrise are only surpassed by the detail on those Masai.  Color me stunned. Both were amazing, but for art I had to go with that gorgeous photo.  My first thought as "I thought we couldn't include photo backgrounds..."  Then I looked, and saw it is all 3 dimensional.  Yikes...what talent at photography and painting!

Gawd Captain that could be me old granny, luvverly paintin', yer a proper toff an' no mistake  :-*

Outstanding Massai Frank, I did these for Foundry when they first came out. A superb paintjob and much better than mine.

It's 'Irene' from Ironclad. Based on Rachel McAdams as Irene Adler in the Robert Downey Jr Sherlock Holmes movie. Only not quite as drop-dead gorgeous as the lovely Rachel.

Both excellent work, but I prefer the Style of Blood (Photo of Miniature in Scene and a Single shot of the Miniature). But as the last rounds: Extreme hard to find a decision...

As beautiful as they both were, I had to vote for the Gun Club. The checked jacket was insane! I've no idea how you managed that one so well.

But really, both entries just excellent.

The closest call for me this round.. yikes!

Going to have to think about this.

Frank that warm red, black, ivory color scheme is addictive, I now really want to paint something with that scheme  :-*

That suit won my vote in what was the most difficult choice of LPL6 let alone the round!  Quality painting from both of you!
