There were some excellent entries--but in the end, I had to vote for yours, for several reasons. The first--is that yours is the strongest, technically. I think some of the pieces were more difficult to do (the one with the Widow and the Damsel or the red beasties come to mind!)--but they also had flaws that made them not quite as good as yours--primarily in terms of overly busy and scattered composition, making them technically, weaker.

Next--yours seem to me to embody the contest's theme better than the other entries--with the only real competition in that aspect being the one with the "above and below" ground scene. Other entries seemed too focused on one aspect of the theme--either light, or darkness--with only a nod to the remaining concept.

Finally--as you well know--I'm a sucker for Victorian art--and these two are so blatantly Mucha-esque, that I can't resist them.

Well done, Dear! Whether you win the contest or not--in my book--you deserve to win!

(And I'm writing my comments here, instead of on the contest page--because regardless of the fact that I think your piece is head and shoulders above the rest--they are all pieces with various strong points--and many, clearly, have hours of work in them--and I've no desire to put them down in any way.
