I was waiting for the voting to finish before making my comments on this month's challenge.

First, thanks Bogie for running the challenge, and thanks to everyone who voted for me, or posted complimentary comments.

Second, congratulations madcowchef for your well-earned win.

My vote this month went to Madcowchef. The level of detail and vibrancy of his/her map impressed me the most. I also really liked the originality of the concept.

I try to never vote more than once in each challenge, but if I had voted a second time, it would have been for Dragowlin's map. I really liked the arty/sketchy appearance of it.

Last, I think it is a real pity that Seredemia was unable to finish her map--it looked really promising. I hope whatever difficulties she is having are sorted out soon.

Now I want my shiny silver compass. It will be my preciousssss.
