Here are the results for January's competition theme of "Toys".  Sorry it 
took so long to get this done, but that's the way it goes sometimes :(
Thanks to everyone who participated, and thanks to the people who helped 
me judge them.  The images seem to be getting better and better each 
month, which is excellent.  
All images are available at ftp.povray.org in /pub/povray/competition.
the RULES and past_winners, etc are all there too.  Hopefully there will 
be a WWW page for the competition as soon as we get around to it.

Here they are:

               knew what he went through to get me his image, you'd
               understand :)  ]

HONORABLE MENTION!
