IMHO, mrtnrln's pic is a great example of what I talked about in my last vote for gottago - architectural variety. Both pics are terrific, but the composition of mrtnrln's image is awe-inspiring!

mrtnrln - 8
metarvo - 7

[Fabian93]

Metarvo for me, his picture looks so real and i love the extensive use of diagonal elements in his picture. The way the house stands to the street is great, too 
mrtnlrn - your picture looks great, too  I really like the W2W and different architectural styles.

We're stuck in another tie-untie loop, so here we go...
metarvo - 9
mrtnrln - 8

It looks incredibly realistic... perhaps too realistic

[Une_ame]

I can't resist hausmanian style ! Mrtnrln for me.

metarvo - 9

[Masochist]

It seems scrutiny is the only method to resolve this one, so:

mrtnrln - Your picture is awesome!  It's a grand European cityscape you give us here, and it's spectacularly displayed.  My only beef with it is that Maxis Elementary school sitting right there in the middle really kind of spoils the urban vibe; I think a more modern elem. school might've fit better.  Other than that, it's a hard picture to beat (as evidenced by the score).

metarvo - Very serene!  A very realistic, well put-together farm scene.  Very great use of those fences; they add so much to any rural scene .  Scrutinizing your picture, I have to comment on the fact that there's nothing on the other side of that fence but empty space; another farm, or even some trees would've been nice.  Still, it's an excellent shot!

Right...with all that said, I think it's time that the suspense be broken.  And so, I vote for:

metarvo   Why?  Because even though there's empty grass in the picture, it fits right in; not entirely unrealistic to see an open field on the other side of a farm.

mrtnrln - 9
metarvo - 10

So...we need a new challenger.  Any takers?

<EDIT> Well, it's been half an hour (that rule hasn't changed, has it?).  So...I guess I'll try my luck:

metarvo -


vs. Masochist -


(You guys realize how long it's been since I've entered a picture into this contest?  I predict this one will be in vain, but...oh, well! )

[Albus of Garaway]

A noble effort, Masochist, but Metarvo picture really reminds me of home, so...

Metarvo: 1
Masochist: 0

[TmiguelT]

wow it is a difficult choice but i gotta go with the all green Mountain side 

Masochist: 1
Metarvo: 1

By the way... I like to tie things up 

[KoV Liberty]

I like to untie things.

Masochist: 2
Metarvo: 1

[blade2k5]

I'm going with the challenger as his pic has more going on, more to look at and is a really cool pic whilst the farm one is pretty plain.

Masochist: 3
Metarvo: 1
