Default Competition - we have a tie!

So congratulations to everyone that took the time to enter and to vote in the ioSafe competition! The outcome is that there were 26 votes for both Indigo November and 26 votes for Xerophytes -- So yes, a tie! How would you choose the winner oh global public?



and



I'm thinking a coin flip - but does anyone else have any fair way to choose the winner?!

It's now 16:51pm in the UK, I will check this thread at 18:00 and we'll take a view from there.

Do another vote, as a poll, with just these two pictures.

Or even better: put together a moderator judging panel and judge it.

I'm thinking of maybe one more voting, a poll or something?

Make it a race to see who answers the thread first. That way everyone can be sure that it's fair. No offense Sime, but a coin toss could easily be cheated on.

Actually, you should make me Grand Supreme Chooser, so that I may pass judgement with my mighty brain.

I think the solution is obvious.

Rules clearly state winner will be chosen by public vote.

Have another vote to break the tie, just these two photos in the vote.

This way you stay within the guidelines of the original rules. Fair for everyone.

You should just choose mine.

Seriously though, I think judging would be the most fair.
