Oh, my money's on Lely.
Just kidding, easiest contest ever, the fabulous LEONARDO!

Leonardo da Vinci - I'd never seen his "Leda and the Swan" before and I quite like it.

Um, gosh, so hard. Well I guess I'll go with this da Vinci guy, whoever he was.

Leo da V!

Rebel said...

da Vinci! Forget about Mona Lisa - that swan!! Man. That's what should have pride of place in the Louvre.

Ben said...

I'll jump on the bandwagon - da Vinci.

Candida said...

Sorry, Lely. Leonardo's a tough act to beat, and you don't quite do it.

I'm going to go with Leda. Er, Leonardo.

Lely. Very expressive faces, like something is actually happening. And doesn't that lady in blue look the tiniest bit like Mrs. 5000?

Well, Lely made up some lost ground there towards the end, but still succumbs to Leonardo da Vinci 12-1. Which is why it's a double-elimination tournament, right?
