Theme: Strung
Artist: Sara Law
Size: 1024 x 768 		"The way that Lacus is portrayed in this one shows that something is binding her to this world of ours." - Tamish

"very symbolic with the theme incorporating with both stray and strung, which appears to involve a more 'personal' feeling with lacus." - A.K.

Theme: Strung
Artist: Whitney Erin 'WolfCry'
Size: 1024 x 768 		"Really like the conbination color and imge how its use. I do believe it has the meaning base on the theme that is choosen." - Edgard Strife

Here's a different ontake that one of the judge found that this entry could also hav been the threme 'stray':
"As for the image itself, I like the idea of how the artist drew Lacus with her arms wrapped around herself as it coincides with all the light that is shining down upon her. It gives off the message that she’s like a stray cat in dark corner and with the light shining down on her, it tells me that finally after so long, fate has played its hand for her and is granting her chance for salvation." - Tamish

Theme: Stray
Artist: Marisa
Size: 1024 x 768 		"Very Simplistic, but to me, I found it very well portayed the theme as well as the series itself." - Akushiro

"great sense of simplicity (which gets the message through) providing stray (used in text)" - A.K.


These were the Judge's Favorites. Awesome job to all of you.
