Okay, I'll comment. I chose Keeper. I like the things simple and straight forward and that what Keeper did.

I liked both quite a lot, but I voted for Apple.

I really like the "scrap-book" look you gave it.
The fact that it seems like you have a variety of media in the piece though it is a graphic - newspaper clippings, pictures, fabric type patterns etc and seemingly placed in no particular fashion (though I am sure you spent quite some time on the composition of it =P). Nice work.

The Keeper, I liked that yours looked almost black and white, though it isn't. You used little colour and I liked that, and the way you positioned the stocks.

I voted for apple because she has warmer color's. And how i see things after looking again wich i didnt see when i looked with a glance.

srry keeper. I vote Apple.

Its really hard to vote for, since Rina's piece has a good control and variation of color, a great composition and good style all around. Dyce's piece was aiming for something sorta the same, yet something entirely different. They are like polar opposites, and the style works best with how Rina used it.
Also, Keepers piece was a bit more...I don't know, boring than Rina's, and not only because of the colors.

I can't really describe it, but, I vote for Rina.

Rina's, because it's very vibrant and filled with life, and that goes with the nature of the subject person in the stock. The way the stock is used gives a feeling of many medium and a meaning, like a collage that displays the life of the subject person. I really like it.

I voted for Rina-Chan =D Sry Keeper =] But i jus feel tat her work is filled with more colour~ and More content =]

Bloo...

Guessing I'm not going to get enough votes for this so I'm going to call it.

Apple is the winner of Rnd 1-- ONE. Congrats, you go through to the next round.

The keeper, you'll still have a chnace to go through to the next one, so don't worry. o.<
