First HM's in no particular order:

Marisa - Lots of drama here, and a great title too.

Markus - I like how the fox seems to be disintegrating.

Jeff - Quite a statement here. I like your processing work and composition.

Third Place: Szczepan - Amazing sculpture. This works so well in b&w.

Second Place: Marisa - A striking image. The tears look frozen. Really nice crop.

First Place: Gill - The lighting, perspective and background made this one really special.
So it's over to you Gill.
As automated announcements are no longer seem to be sent to winners I would like to suggest that whoever judges future contests also contacts the winners. This will ensure that the competitions without interruptions.
