  3. I like 'em both. Since I know Adams is going to win anyway, I'm going to cast my vote for Constable. I feel a little bit like a U.S. congressman!

  4. Hmmm. I like Adams, but he doesn't quite survive my painting-trumps-photography bias in this battle of landscape greats. Constable.

  7. Constable eventually got a head of steam up, but not enough to overcome Adams' crushing early lead. The photographer hangs on to win 9 votes to 6.
