I wrote "Police Reports" and "Emojis". Thanks so much for the critiques. There were lots of good choices and I think this might be the first time I fell out of the top three. Great job by the winners! See everyone next year I hope!

I like to encourage people to get in this contest because it's an interesting challenge and different from the challenges of chess and painting.

If RHP had a painting competition I'm in no doubt you would wipe the floor with me. 🙂

You'd be surprised at the various levels and types of art there are and there's always something good in all the levels. Give it a shot!
