The Au Natural Challenge - Group 1

[Raymond Overman]

Thanks everyone for posting your Au Natural pieces. We had 21 entries in all. A great turnout and some amazing pieces. It's now time to vote to see who takes home the title. I'm going to post three polls broken down into groups of 7 based on time of entry (due to limitations with the polling system) Pick one from each group. We'll then have a second poll of the three top entries for the title. Polls close on Wednesday @ 5:00 EST for the first round.

Here are all of the entries:

Thank you for putting this challenge out Raymond! I learned quite a bit from my attempt and from the other entries.

And, for the record, I did NOT vote for myself.......
