Yeah the Witch head grabs the attention alright, but a lot of times the difference in some of these photos comes right down to the equipment being used. I mean if you let the beginning Imaging Finalist - Jeff use the Takahashi FSQ-106ED, instead of an 8" SCT with an f 6.3 focal reducer the shots might have been a lot harder to call. Very good job for a newbie to the field, especially allowing for the equipment used! Jeff you've won my vote!
