habiTat - Wrath and Benjo - Shakin both with 2 votes

Jess - Shirt and tie - 3 votes

SoulPunk - Suitcase of Photographs - 4 votes

and so the winner is

songsthatcry - the child - with 5 votes.

Congratulations to all and thanks for voting. And BooBoo has kindly accepted the challenge for this month so you have been warned.
