I think maybe people think your skin comes with the satellite dish on top, because otherwise I can't at all see the attraction to "News Scene - Do Not Cross"
I cant speak for other people but i voted for your skin i think it was the best and since this is a skinning contest it was the better skin in my opinion. I do kind of agree with your point though when you see a news van they always have the transmitting tower on top and some people may have just saw that it based their decision based on that.
As for the pictures i like the scene pictures you did and it really showcased the skin and engaged the viewer into the skin. Again i cant speak for others but i don't know if the picture style really had any impact.
However i don't think you guys should fight over such trivial matters you both made great skins and both of you are winners so lets move on and i look forward to more great skins from both of you!
