WoW! What a exciting challenge!
Seriously! I have been biting nails and stayed up late! And with a late arrival of @leneg, who was in the lead after just one night online, I thought this is impossible. No, everything is possible in this challenge. @aishwarya took back the lead the following day as I have recorded and won by 4 votes with an unususal piece. It is the first installation we've seen in this challenge. And a a highly unusual one! It took a while before I totally got it, since it is the shadow that makes sense of it all. And a real difficult concept to capture properly. An example of something you just have to see. But the eagle-eyed steemers, they saw and rewarded @aishwarya 22.802 Steem Dollars!
Congratulations!
Afterthought
This has been the single most exciting thing I have experienced since I first fired up a 14.4 modem in 1996. You know the early days of internet. The risk is that it just gets forgotten in the tons of other more or less interesting pieces of information that is constantly bombarded onto steemers. So resteeming the original post is the best people can do to make new, interested parties aware of it. So please, friends, followers and others, when i launch a new challenge, resteem it even though it might not be your idea of fun.
I thought for a while that this will be a dead end before the first amazing thing happened. It was the lovely fishes from South Korea. I thought straight away that is the one. It is impossible to do such a thing without being a genius. To my surprise it only got 4 votes. Another surprise was gibiuk's lifelike gigantic portrait. Only 2 votes! Look at it! It is almost the size of freshtuff's Latvian piece! Only 4 times more detailed. I also liked leneg's piece from Stavanger. She has been unlucky with the light, so it doesn't show very well. Direct sunlight would have done it more justice. Still she managed second place. Not bad at all. I also really liked phoblographer's, sroka87's and fronttowardenemy's entries. And I would personally voted for all of them. But I try to stay neutral. Believe it or not.
Huge thanks to the following:
@dabeckster @benniebanana @toniesteem @ausbitbank @ivhexe @aishwarya @wishmaiden

Do you want more?
Let me know! I recieve a lot of comments and a lot of them are helpful. I need more help from everybody that think this is a good idea. Are you one of them? Follow. Keep your eyes open. There will be a new challenge in a few minutes. I just have to re-write my script.
PS!
For some reason this individual decided to downvote the challenge:
I thought you all should know. Too bad. For everyone. There could have been a even bigger prize.
