    Interesting picture and a thought provoking contest. Bookmarking as hope to write for this. Although there are seven senses that are traditionally accepted I believe there are more than that if we include intuition and instinct.But I always think way too deeply.Of course there will be debate other the finite difference between sight and vision too. Am looking forward to some interesting entries. Good luck with this contest.
