Dark-skys99, that is excellent for a "quick attempt", though I am looking for a slighly more yellow hue than you have there, but the image itself is great.

ok that was fun...lol

**Padawan** · 03-17-2005, 05:15 AM

Dark-skys that second attempt which is more yellow is excellent.

Casa pages I like your images too. The best ones feature the sphynx to the left, but I'm not so sure of the sarcophogus to the right in some of them - it just doesn't seem to blend in with the rest of the image too well.

**angele803** · 03-17-2005, 03:40 PM

Casa Pages - I think yours are awesome! Especially the last one!

**CasaPages** · 03-17-2005, 04:30 PM

Padawan maybe if I have some time tonight ill mess with the "sarcophogus", since I agree it doesnt blend to well with some of them but it does work good on the last ones.

Angele803- Thanks I try

**Padawan** · 03-17-2005, 04:53 PM

Yes I agree Casa, it works well on the last two, but I still prefer the sphynx

**Tony_B** · 03-17-2005, 05:16 PM

**Padawan** · 03-17-2005, 07:09 PM

Thats another excellent effort there from Tony B.

I can see that my job of choosing a winner at the end of this competition is definately going to be a hard one.

**CasaPages** · 02:36 AM

I messed around with the first one..............

Variation

yet one more variation

I hope no one minds me submitting so many....I had a lot of fun with this one...lol

**Padawan** · 03-18-2005, 05:29 AM

With just over a day to go I thought I would list my favourite 4 entries so far -

duckz - post #30

dark-skys99 - post #43 (image is excellent, lettering on egyptbc.com needs to be a bit darker I think)

TonyB - post #52

CasaPages - post #54 (the bottom image)

I will have to think long and hard as to which is best. Of course there may still be more entries yet.

I would like to thank everyone who has entered so far for their time and effort as every submission so far has been of great quality.

**Tony_B** · 05:42 AM

thanks Padawan

heres one at 468x60 - i made this before reading the rules :P

edit: removed image

**Padawan** · 03-19-2005, 05:56 PM

This competition is now CLOSED

After many hours deliberation (because the entries were all so good) I have finally chosen a winner - TonyB, post #52

Many, many thanks to everyone who took part, it really was a difficult decision and in the end I couldn't decide between a few of the entries. Therefore, the eventual winner was picked by my son who is a fellow Egyptaholic.

TonyB, PM sent.
