Congratulations. I'm glad I don't have to decide, and I wish I had more
"creative" thoughts on using my images. Recently I bought a series of
images from a woman, who puts recurring image themes together with simple
images of eyes and creates wonderful "Art".

I was in the northern Territory and taking images of the "land" which
reminded me of the Aboriginal art I was seeing there:

and when I got home I saw work by an Aboriginal artist, who was taking
similar patterns from the landscape and "layering" them over nudes. This
"layering" technique is turning up everywhere I look at the moment.
Someone must be teaching it at photo/art courses as a way of putting
texture into otherwise simple images.

Damn, my great concept already used "as always: ;-)
