Also, a hearty thanks to Darren, New Doberman, Rhonda and, err, myself for submitting great entries.
I'd love to know who did which but maybe that's not etiquette... I thought all were of excellent quality and as far as I'm concerned they're all winners and part of my Christmas! The silhouettes in Stable Mews were my vote, atmosphere, character colo(u)r and nostalgia (with a hint of mystery) it's what the Avengers is all about for me.
yup...everyone was a winner...but there only could be one...unless, say they took turns rotating..every few days....perhaps in an alternative universe.

How exciting, I'm quite humbled considering there were two or three real corkers to choose from.

Congratulations, Avengerholic. I voted for yours.

What appealed to me was the more graphical and black and white approach.

I did number 2, I found inspiration rather lacking this year. I think I've used up all my ideas in previous years.

Some great entries.

There was a point when entry numbers out-numbered the votes but thankfully that improved. :)

Thank you Darren, I was looking for something that had a festive look, was related to one of my favourite episodes, but didn't feature any of the characters. Personally I'd grown tired of seeing the leads featured every year.

I don't know if everyone wants to own up but Avengerholic did 1 & 9, Darren has said he did 2, and I did 5.

3,4,6, & 7 were all by the mysterious Mr Blonde and 8 & 10 were by Mr Pink.

I'll leave it up to them to reveal who they were but it's easy to work out, really.

They all look great. Unfortunately, I haven't been on line much recently so missed the opportunity to vote. If I had I'd have probably voted for 7, but it would have been a tough choice! The winner is great though.

Piers thanks for running the competition and the makers for their creativity.

1 is an excellent winner, stylish b&w.
2 I love for memorializing Honor and Diana
3, 6, 7 are my personal favourites,
but impressed by all of them.
