Ok, really had a hard time deciding as they were all so different from one another, and I was expecting a bigger pool to get to choose from. Anyway....

Winner: BBoi. Really liked the smooth flowing lines to the image. And very sharp as well.

2nd: Paul B. You get the feeling if you looked long enough, you would see the printed pages fall into place.

3rd: abuseddog. I really liked the idea a bunch, just wish it wasn't as noisy or as dark.

Excellent - Thanks :)

I wanted it to be sharper, but since I can't use my tripod, i was balanced on a very wobbly cd tower with the zoom on and using the timer to get the shot. It's not perfect, but ya I think it turned out pretty good for what it is. I did various angles on the inks, but none quite had that essential 'presence' I was after. So sometimes, straight on simplicity is best.

Righto, time to think of the next comp - stay tuned folks :)
