Nice choice for the poll/voting thing. I’m sure it was time consuming counting the comments last time!
Kudos to the photographers, I like some of these a lot.

The Red Turban is awesome! Very nice shot! Heather is a close second!

Let this be a lesson to you all… Colour Calibration is important! I think my shot of Lucy turned out warmer that what it was when I was editing it. Dang.

Deep in Thought – love the use of light and shade to build an atmosphere and bring out the features. Thanks for doing this Lisa

Nice photos! However, the female models always seem to have that annoying knack of making the make-up seem too obvious. These aren’t too bad in that respect, but yeah, obvious large amounts of make-up is obvious. Use it as an art and not a blanket.

Lisa, I love you! Thank you so much for choosing mine as one of your faves.
The Red Turban is an excellent shot! I can’t believe we’re neck-and-neck. :-) Good luck to everyone.

deep in thought is amazing
it shows true emotion and sends across a message, unlike a lot of the others

Nathan,
Unlike our lazy southern neighbours, we do in fact spell it favourite!

The colours in The Red Turban blow me away.
