Mabuse, but for the record I also rather like Cragg.

I like that red thing by Cragg, but I'm going to vote for Mabuse.

I find this to be a close one. I hate the hands in the third Mabuse. And I kind of like Cragg, even though he sort of reminds of a Pier One catalog to the tenth power. My favorite of all the pictures would definitely be Mabuse's first, so I'll go with him.

I like Cragg. I like him so much that I paused a little bit before running with Mabuse. That's good praise!

Cragg's glassware or porcelain or whatever almost got me, but then there was Mabuse, who I liked more consistently.

Mabuse, but it was somewhat close.

OK, time's up! It's Mabuse, eleven votes to two!
