And the winner is....
[link] - Build me a Fairytale, by Dark Oak Trails!!
I found the creativity and imagination used in this piece truly inspiring, and I feel it certainly provides that "WOW" factor for which I have been endlessly searching.

So, my thanks to everybody else who entered the contest, and my congratulations to Dottie for winning! Dottie will win an exclusive stock photo of Moonfire - the horse seen in this manip - and an additional prize of 50 points for the effort she clearly put into this piece - changing the colour and pose of the horse, and even turning it into a mythological creature.
While I have you here, allow me to inform you that this contest is ongoing! I have decided to make it a permanent thing. Every time I see a particularly jawdropping piece using this stock
[link] , the artist shall be presented with an exclusive stock photo.
