I am very nervous because I really love this my contest and I knew I would have a big problem with choosing the winners. I can tell you that everybody who submitted entries was on the 1st place in my mind. The entries are really fantastic and I am so happy that I have initiated it. But I still need to think how to reward and choose the winner. I think Paolo and Silvia understand me. It is EXTREMELY difficult.
And during judging this contest I changed the concept of rewarding and hopefully you will understand. I donated another 14 STEEM and added photography processing group. That is why rewards amounts were slightly changed. I am sorry that I have changed my mind but now I know what to expect.)))
There were great entries in photo processing or digital photo graphics (not sure about the right name for it) which I can not compare with paintings as it is completely different art to me. And frankly speaking I didn't expect such entries (as for digital painting I meant painting not processing) but they are really great and I will just have a different group for it.
I am learning with you, so I made pastel one for it as well:

Amazing pastel made with good taste. I really loved combination of colours
SPECIAL PRIZES - 2 STEEM each
This entry made me smile for several days. With sense of humour but also with great painting skills. I like how depth is shown. It is a quick thing but you can definitely say that it was made by the master.
I was very impressed with delicacy and elaboration of this work. And I can imagine how much labour was put in it.
Digital Group
1st PRIZE (7 STEEM) - @stargarden
Just really like it. Everything about it
2nd PRIZE (5 STEEM) - @motivator
I love this work and it reminded me Van Gogh's apples. Great decision about the manner of doing it and fantastic colours.
3rd PRIZE (3 STEEM) - @artguy
Great texture and colours!
Tomorrow I will announce the next theme. I bet at least one of these participants would be happy!)))
