This was hard - I could fully expect either set to start walking off of their own accord. Wonderful, and a VERY hard call.

The cool thing about these 2 awesome entries is the clear difference in styles. Both showcase the strengths of their chosen method. Great entries, and I agree a very, very difficult choice!

This one came the closest this round to needing a "Both!" button! I didn't quite flip a coin to cast my vote, but damn close.

Only 5 votes apart as I write this, too, so I'm not the only one.

(final vote totals within five count as a tie, do they not?)

after my decision it was 173 vs 172 ... jesus!!! While writing it turned to 173 vs 173 ... deserved, though it is somehow "sad" not to habe a clear winner.

well done!

Wow  :o

Two great entries, with the only comment on them that the pictures both could benefit from a crisper photo. Somehow I have the feeling with both that some of the amazing quality of the work done got lost in translation to picture  ;)
