Congratulations once again to the newdoberman who once again has pleased the judges and the public with his entry in the competition!

You may notice I've resorted the images and adjusted the scoring to put the winner at the top. I'll not do that again, it was a nightmare doing something apparently straightforward.

I'm seriously thinking of making this The Annual Doberman Prize because David wins it so often!

All four are excellent, but 1 (and 3) are quite exquisite.

Yes, I struggled between 1 and 3 as well, but the deciding factor what the clever inclusion of merchandise in the image. Plus, the animated banner was a whopping 955KB, way above the 200kb limit the forum puts on banners.

Yes, I loved the clever research aspect of number one - a victory for a traditional detailed theme, over this new-fangled animation, which was also very nicely done :)
I did like the 'Diana' Bentley in winter graphic of No. 2 and the Scottish tartan celebration of No. 4.

Embarrassingly I missed the deadline for voting but delighted to see my banner at the top of the forum.

Thanks everyone that voted and entered. I keep saying I’m going to take a year off but can’t seem to stop thinking about it once the festive season comes around. And it’s a great excuse to watch lots of episodes (even if I do spend most of it looking for Steed in a certain position or Emma looking a specific direction!)

Happy Christmas everyone
