Thank you to the photographers who participated and put in an entry or two (or four!) in this segment of the artist challenge. I am glad you were able to find inspiration in Larry Towell's photographs and infused your own style in the process.
While I wish there were more entries and more people participating, it still was quite daunting just to narrow down the entries to a few finalists; the entries were all powerful images and would have made Mr. Towell rather proud. But after a couple shots of vodka and a bowl of ice cream, it all came down to these six photos:
1. Boodle Fight by @altadc
reminds me of this Towell photograph: http://mediastore.magnumphotos.com/CoreXDoc/MAG/Media/TR2/b/5/1/d/PAR92350.jpg
2. Bucket with Pegs by @salza
brings to mind this: http://mediastore.magnumphotos.com/CoreXDoc/MAG/Media/TR2/9/1/f/6/NYC19210.jpg
3. Checking it Out by @blueberry1222
could've been inspired by http://mediastore.magnumphotos.com/CoreXDoc/MAG/Media/TR2/6/5/0/0/NYC6440.jpg
4. Mine Leftovers by @kali66
brings to mind this Towell shot from his Afghanistan sojourn: http://mediastore4.magnumphotos.com/CoreXDoc/MAG/Media/TR2/3/7/b/a/NYC97793.jpg
5. Slice of Heaven by @wenbow
could've been inspired by http://mediastore.magnumphotos.com/CoreXDoc/MAG/Media/TR2/d/1/c/f/NYC6394.jpg
6. Towell Challenge by @jackies365

Voting starts now until midnight EDT Toronto/New York time on Wednesday, June 8, 2016 after which the results shall be tallied and posted immediately.
@kali66 I cannot see them when viewed on my laptop but able to see them when I use my phone! Not sure if it's a browser problem. I use Firefox on my laptop.
@summerfield I can see everything when I use my phone. On the laptop there's just an empty box with your name and profile picture on the right hand side.

I'm able to view everything just fine with my desktop, laptop and phone. I use Chrome for my browser, but I also tried using Microsoft Edge and that also works fine.
Tweets ahoy!
