There are fewer than 24 hours left to vote for your favourite dioramas, so make sure you vote now if you haven't already.

When the poll closes the results should immediately become visible to all. However, I will verify all of the votes before confirming the winner. If I discover any foul play or attempts at cheating then I may have to ban members and remove their votes, so it's possible the final results will change after the poll has ended. So, please wait for my official announcement before celebrating or commiserating!

Thanks to everyone who voted for my diorama, number 8, Burian's Procession. As you can see I was going for a retro vibe. It was a pretty simple set up in my garden. I arranged the figures in a row on a brick so I could get the camera as low as possible to make the toys look big. I didn't use Photoshop but I did change the saturation slightly in a picture editor to give the image a warmer feel and to make the monochrome dinosaurs blend in a bit.

Well done Dr Admin on organising the contest, some great entries (I voted for your one btw!). Big congratulations to the worthy winners.

I am just happy that 9 people voted for my daft Trilobites in the bath picture! I hope it raised a smile

I was one of them, because the title just made me crack up!

Wow, it worked! Sultry Feathers got the most votes. That speaks for the fact that the ideas have arrived. I really wanted to have the wonderful Deinocheirus from PSNO in the picture, because there is hardly a more impressive representation for a feathered dinosaur at the moment. It fits that so many feathered dinosaurs are found in the Gobi in particular. There should be a herding, despite the fact that most of the performers in the diorama don't even show up in this picture. I will again show variants and a making-of so that more species show up. But for this it becomes clear here that the Gobi had a completely different face 66 million years ago.

Thanks to all who voted for Sultry Feathers.

I personally voted only for dioramas in this contest. Though there are indeed quite a few good photos among all those entries, I see the diorama contest as what it is named: a diorama contest. So for me the photgraphed scene needs to be build up from a scratch, something more or less lasting - not a shot made with figures placed in the outdoor green. So that ruled my vote out for your shot in the first place.

Other than that I think you could have deceided for a more interesting perspective, showing more of the used figures or the social interaction they are intended to show. As a general photographic rule you could also go for "if you can`t take a good shot, try to make is as close as possible". The bird view perspective is rarely interesting in showing individual creatures. That being said, I had a hard time to deceide for a perspective in my entry this year aswell (Welcome to the Gates of Hell).

As a last personal note I could not related the title to the shown scene.

All that being said I hope it helps a bit rather than sounding too harsh, as it is in fact not intended like that.

Thanks @Crackington . I was very tempted to vote for your dioramas and I did consider it, but there were too many other good ones that nudged it out.

I voted for dioramas 6, 14, 17, 18, 25. Also in my shortlist and in close contention were dioramas 4, 5, 11, 23. I regretted that I couldn't vote for these as well and it was very difficult to whittle them down!
