This was a very close contest! According to the rules, ties are broken first by looking at the public vote, then the judge rankings, and finally a decision by the admin. There is always room for improvement, so if anyone has a suggestion please create a new thread in the photo contest or feedback forums. If you prefer to remain anonymous you can send me an email or private message.
