  Well, you have me beat for space, Katarina! These look really good and I don't even like licorice! I like that the simplicity is total: palette, shapes, and overall composition--everything is direct and kept to the basics. Works for me. Happy Theme Day.

  I always think it's extra cool when one of our theme shots finals--can't help wondering whether the photo would even have been take were it not for the inspiration of the theme! Whatever motivated you here, Katarina, it was great and this is a wonderful finalist. Congratulations.
