Show me yours & I'll show you mine

Last week I decided to do a fun little game on my Twitter account. I asked my followers to show me their desktop (or mobile device) background and I'd show them mine. I had so many great responses that I decided to reward the best desktop with a prize. Now, I need your help...

Below are the top 5 background images, leave a comment to vote on your favorite one. The best background will win a mystery prize and one commenter will win a super mystery prize. Happy voting! (voting ends Friday June 25th at 12:00 PM)
