...and I umm'd and ahhh'd over selecting only the one. For me it came down to a choice between Shadow SD's and Freakdaddy's photos. The images are quite different but both have good initial eye impact. I liked the tighter composition of Freakdaddy's shot as well as the strong colours, and I also liked the diffuse monochrome of Shadow SD's shot. In the end the aspect that swung me toward Shadow SD's photo was the tying together of the subjects via the various engraving/embossing patterns.

Thanks to all who posted photos.

#4 just kind of had the whole package! Like Doogle said, the way all the items tied together did something for me!
