Lee Rockoonz 's entry, especially this photo ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/rockoonz/image/upload/v1663696673/afm9n7c8fnzhzy4zqb1o.jpg) reminds me not of the Red Sea parting, but of the backside of the lower torso of someone about to plunk their hiney into an oversized saddle, lol. I see the close up of looking down the nose of a big ol’ gator. The blue is his eyes

I wasn't sure if I was going to get a cab done for this month's contest. Got 'er done almost last minute though! LOL - Some of you know last year I cut out over a thousand preforms...stupidly! Well, I have a ton of Picture Jasper cabochons that I have already done...and a ton of preforms already cut. With that many preforms ready to go (and so many completed and waiting to be wrapped), I just couldn't justify cutting out another preform. I didn't "need" another landscape cab. So, if anyone feels that disqualifies me since I didn't start from a slab this month, don't be afraid to speak up...I will withdraw. The first shot is of the preforms I picked out as possibilities...but after looking at them some more, I only worked the one on the bottom right. I decided to leave this as a high some to give the scene in the rock a bit more depth (figuratively and literally I guess! LOL) I call this one "Sandstorm Over The Bluff". If you look closely at the picture taken outside, you can see a house off to the right...and clouds in the sky...a true landscape piece! LOL There have been some amazing looking entries this month...so way to go everyone! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) ( Tommy , the first two shots of the completed cab are the ones for judging...if I'm not disqualified...) ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220930/141191dfe353885206b24002c3c48d99.jpg) ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220930/f4d5936cee10647cc561e8b94460b852.jpg) ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220930/82b9bded07589309ceb25b374fb08f9a.jpg) ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220930/792cf98fbd36b807f8cb717399c42171.jpg) that freaking dome dude… holy crap. You pulled that with a 1/4in slab?

Thank you all for another awesome contest with 12 beautiful entries. The contest is officially closed and I have collected the photos.
It's bad timing but I have an unusually busy work schedule this weekend with three 12 to 14 hour days in a row so I'll do my best to get the voting up as soon as I can. The voting period will not be shortened if I'm late posting it.

I think this is one of the better looking group of cabs I've seen for the competition here. Even so #4 has more votes than everyone combined. Very impressive.
