Edit: Several people now report they can't change their vote. I don't know why there is a problem. But...I guess we have to vote with care. You have until Tuesday if you need to think about it.

I voted for the Unified Hearts. It is the one I would most like as a souvenier - but then which would Leonard like

These are just beautiful! Thank you so so much to Pam, Laura and Marie for working on this. I followed the previous thread and know how many hours of work and love went into these designs!

These are all stunning but the unified hearts got my vote. Would love to have a copy of that on my wall

They're all amazing, but Unified Hearts feels the most vibrant to me. Any way of including the 'runners-up' too, somewhere in the final mosaic? Would that be a techno nightmare?

Is it just the background that makes up the mosaic and Leonard and the band are full images and not included in the mosaic as such it is hard to tell

The first design gets my vote. The individual photos in the background appear much clearer and the I like the ray of light focusing on Leonard and having the band members within it.
Although very nice, the others are maybe a bit too complicated.
Thanks for all the work you girls have put into this project.

The title of this thread says it all.
It is from the fans.
The Ray of Light mosaic shows the fans more clearly, and I feel that seeing his fans in a more pictorial way will allow Leonard to catch a much better view of the faces behind the names on the Forum.
Each piece has its merits and obviously took a lot of work to produce.
I get the feeling that the other two mosaics are more for the fans to appreciate than for Leonard himself. I may be wrong, but that is what I feel.
Good luck.

All the designs are stunning. I voted for the Unified Hearts, being LC's personal logo. And this design also has a great feature - the three shafts of light resemble the top of the Maple Leaf on the Canadian Flag.

When I am 75, and all of my family and friends sign a birthday card to give to me, and the picture on the front of the card is a photo of me, and i discovar that i could have recieved another photo showing the faces of everyone who had signed the card, I know which photos i would want to look at. The photos od all of my family and friends. I have plenty of photos of me already. I voted for the Guitar.

Hello Friends,

I haven’t voted yet simply because I cannot choose the best one.

Both Laura’s “Ray of Lights Band” as well as Pam’s “Band with Unified Hearts” designs are so beautiful, expressive and touching.
I admire all the “labour of love”, art and creativity of both our so talented girls.

I must confess I’ve made some tryouts on the mosaic design by myself (have learned the mosaic program and also have some Photoshop skills) but haven’t achieved any worth presenting effects.
So I can appreciate Laura’s and Pam’s wonderful work all the more.

That's why such an idea came to mind that we could perhaps accept the two mosaics for Leonard’s 75th Birthday greetings.
Each of them is quite different in design but so stunning so I believe Our Man would appreciate both.
All the forum members photos, already processed into proper resolution might be used for both designs I suppose.

What do you think Friends

Warmest regards to Laura, Pam, Marie and all of you.
Marta

PS
I’d like also to offer my help on pictures of members Photoshop processing into any required format.
.

These are all so special...you all are so talented and creative. Thank you for creating this masterpieces.
It would be great if they could be available as posters to members of the forum for a fee...wouldn't that be nice?
I voted for the Ray of Light...I love it!
but I also really like the Unified Hearts so which ever won wins I will be thrilled.
I am so glad to be a part of this.

We could have the final poster available at The Files for download, in full size. Members could then copy the picture file, and forward it to their local photo lab (or copy the file onto a CDR, and take it to the lab). This is the easiest and cheapest way to make a poster!

I voted for the last one but the first is great too.....i really like the second one as well though



Stupid question but is it too late to submit a photo for this?
