These do look great, a lot of similarities but a couple real stand outs. So on my phone this isn't a poll, are we just voting in the comments?

Tough decision! I love the piece of cake rock in #15. I'm going to have to sleep on it before I can vote.

Are there only 15, since there is no number 14?
Usually people who are superstisious skip 13 not 14, lol.

Killer tumbles. Really tough to pick a clear winner. I didn't vote for myself, I picked which one I thought was best.

I figured voting for myself wasn't cool so I voted for another. The other one looked better than mine anyhow. Those are a bunch of great tumbles!

WOW! All of these look great. I think that photographing them was a big challenge for some people, while others look like photography experts. Good luck to everyone. What happens in case of a tie especially for 3rd place?

Great job everybody! There is at least one piece in each group I wouldn't mind having in my collection. I don't know how to vote ... one is best picture, one is best colors, one is coolest patterns ... so hard to chose.

Now that I've voted (not for my own, regretting my photography choices) I see that the 2 I was torn between are both coming in high which is great. These really are great tumbles and entering a competition (although I honestly stand no chance of winning) really does help one learn subtle things I might not otherwise.

Incredible results on fantastic material! A great shine on those - a real feast for the eyes. Thanks for sharing your hard work.
Several stood out for me, a difficult decision. Shame I couldn't pick a top three.
Well done everyone. I'd love to take part in something like this!

Wow!!! Absolutely brilliant! I can't believe that from that pile of rocks in the rough you all managed to produce such beautiful pieces. I love it!
