Fire at will !

Answer revealed, winner: Catcharun, scroll down this post for answer.

The goal is to identify, within 24 hours, as many images as possible out of a total of 14 distinct images. Some images are half a point, some images are 1 point, some are 2 points.

Bonus 3 points for identifying what is unique about the arrangement.

Answers: The 14 distinct images, descriptions of which are (with points)

- dome skylight (0.5)
- golden gate bridge (0.5)
- staircase (0.5)
- lightning (0.5)
- jewelry store (0.5)
- chandelier / hanging lights (0.5)
- twilight sky (was originally hot air balloons and 1 point, but I realised the balloons are not clear in the resized version) (0.5)
- apartment building, but i'm marking 'facade' as correct (0.5)

- amusement park ride (1)
- flamingo feathers (1)
- yacht (1)

- armchair (2)
- swan reflection (2)
- plane trails (2)

The arrangement is unique since each image overlaps with exactly 3 others. I realise that not all boundaries are clear, but it can be made out with a little thought and much joblessness.

Kudos to catcharun for winning this one with 4 points. Catcharun, Vand and Sai got most of the 0.5, but catcharun was the only one to get any of the tougher ones, in his case, the yacht.
For this post, the points are as follows:

catcharun 4.0
vand 3.5
sai 3.0
raju 1.5
sreekrishna 1.5
balaks 1.0
abhi 1.0

Vand is pulling away into the lead overall, but looks like he will have some stiff competition from catcharun ! Good contest, people, keep the guesses coming. The same email address will be used for future rapid fire rounds, but for now, it will be back to single puzzles and guesses posted as comments.

And finally, the image split, enjoy (click it for a larger version):

Good answers, Balaks, Arun. Some right, some wrong. Where are the rest ? Come on guys, half the time is over ! As I said in the post, you can send more than one email. Just get it in in time.

I can confirm that there are 14 distinct images.

Also, click on the image for a larger view, it will be a lot easier.
