		<description><![CDATA[Thank you everyone for your entries and participation at the SCPG&#8217;s Ultimate Shootout 15! With a huge field of 28 photo entries, the group made their favorite image known with almost 20% of the total votes.  These top three images exemplify great use of the environment, expressive models, and of course, the work of the very talented makeup artists and hairstylists! And now, the winners are.. 1st Place: Oliver Asis &#38; Ashley Wright – Female Fatale (19.4%) Congratulations to Oliver and Ashley on their win, which means they will both receive free passes to US16! &#160; 2nd Place: Erwin Domingo &#38; Rosalia Lerner – Stargazing (12.4%) 3rd Place: Marc Espina &#38; Rosalia Lerner – 1 (10.1%) &#160; Here are your full results!  Oliver Asis runs away with the win, but you&#8217;ll notice that Marc Espina &#38; Erwin Domingo were tied for 3rd Place. However, Marc won the tiebreaker by receiving one more 1st Place vote than Erwin&#8217;s second image, giving him third.  Interestingly enough, three of the top four images were shot with Rosalia, utilizing her ballerina background for drama and effect! &#160; &#160; Here&#8217;s the tiebreaker showing Marc&#8217;s two &#8220;1st Place&#8221; votes to Erwin&#8217;s one: &#160; However, with Erwin&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

Each image received 12.6% of all votes, so we went to the tie-breaker format of looking at the number of first-place votes received.  With that said, the winner is JEREL FUERTE! Ahren Nunag and RayRay Cantor both received the exact same number of points AND votes, so a tie after the tie-breaker has me stumped  Both are considered 2nd place winners! &#160; Winner: Jerel Fuerte &#38; Rachel Swanson &#8211; Hot Pocahontas &#160; Co-2nd Place: Ahren Nunag &#38; Ashlee Reyes &#8211; Untitled1 &#160; Co-2nd Place: RayRay Cantor &#38; Rachel Swanson &#8211; Lookaway &#160; Jerel &#38; Rachel will both receive free passes to the upcoming (but not yet announced) US14.
