Honorable Mentions
so close it hurts
When I first saw this entry, it took me by surprise.  The thumb looked like it may look good, but I didn't really see how great it was until I full viewed it. This entry is just charming, full of great details, and overall, a pleasing piece to look at. I love the waterfall, the detail in the fox's eyes, her freckles… It was so close to winning it hurt to have to choose. I think I spent an hour debating, and in the end, I deferred to my judges, and this one was eventually… reluctantly given up, but I feel I have to mention it here nonetheless.  Special thanks to :devlillyfros
