THIRD PLACE

These are all beautiful renditions of Pegasus and I would have placed all three at the top too. Thanks to all Fine Art America members as well as members of our team for putting all three at the top.
For the remaining post I chose works left over from the top three for most creative, most unusual and most fun. I also felt that there needed to be more images, or even another category, to show some that I felt should not be overlooked because the works are highly skilled and beautiful.
Note: a first place winner for most creative or most unusual could have been any of the above (and all are highly creative and unusual), but for the sake of allowing others a chance at being featured on this post, I am choosing from the remaining works as follows:
MOST CREATIVE
"Pegasus" by Robert Roth
available for sale HERE
MOST UNUSUAL
"Hydracorn" by Katherine Nutt
available for sale HERE
I liked Troy Brown's work, "Belles Garnier" for this category also, but there were nudes in his piece, and it isn't allowed on a Google blog without a lot of rigmarole that would compromise how many people can look at the blog, but here is a teaser (a section of his piece):
a portion of "Belles Garnier" by Troy Brown (because of Google policy)

Next is for "most fun" category. I chose this one because of the high fantastical setting, fun costuming and mane-less winged horse:
MOST FUN
"Winged Horse I" by Barroa Artworks
available for sale HERE
Next up are some others I thought took a lot of skill, or that I thought were too beautiful to leave out.
I loved this next one because of the internal glowing colors such as a candle or lantern might emit, the high detail, and the setting was so nicely executed. Putterhug Studio, the maker of this piece, has won a number of our contests and it should be obvious why:
"Pegasus and the Maiden" by Putterhug Studio
available for sale HERE
Three others follow:
"Fairytale Landscape with Pegasus" by Louise Lavallee
available for sale HERE
"Autumn Pegasus" by Daniel Eskridge

"Pegasus Across the Northern Sky" by Philip Harvey
