I voted 'B'.. But the samples are rather small to be really useful in judging.

D gets my vote. The glass looks really good. Although it looks easy to do, a lot of work must have gone into it.
Saludos,
Bob.

There are larger versions of the creations here:

http://site.xara.com/news/july08/com..._shortlist.asp

which shows up the finer details.

I was going to vote for C but the shadows, especially the ring shadows, don't seem to correlate quite correctly. However, there is good fine detail in the main object.

Then I looked at B again and saw at the base of the H splashed dust/sand going up the sides of the H. Also, there's great reflections in the H and the other letters. Finally the coloured balls just give it that je ne sais qua (sp?).

All of the final five each have some admirable quality when studied though.

It's C for me. Good composition, it's transparent and the overall look pleases me.
