This category was a tough one to vote for, because there's some really good ones in here. Even those 2k ones are really impressive!

This is one of the last I haven’t voted on because I can’t make up my mind…

[Thomas Jentzsch]

Interesting, for me this was the easiest one. Probably a matter of different personal preferences.

[+Al_Nafuur]

For me it was the hardest one too.

 

Usually there are 2 to 3 favorites between which I have to decide per category, but here all 6 are very well done.
