Thank you for all your brilliant entries! Choosing only 3 was super tough. Even more difficult than last time!

Again, I had to disqualify some awesome potential winners for not sticking to the rules. But, rules is rules!

The most common boo-boos were:

• lack of upvote
• lack of copyright-free image
• lack of image

How I came to choose the winners:

• They contained a story, something that suggested action.
• They were interesting.
• They aroused one or more emotions (humour, sadness, joy).
• They made me think and/or imagine something happening.
