July Photo Contest

**Range** · 07-01-2006, 06:36 PM

Welcome to the hot, hazy, lazy days of Summer! This month's photo contest will feature both equine and non-equine categories, but none for humans - sorry!

Summer Dreaming
Show me your horses and other animals sleeping the day away. I mean really sleeping! Eyes closed, lips hanging open, drool on the ground sleeping. You'll have to sneak up on them for these shots, don't wake them up!

Cooling Off
I know you've all done it, set up a sprinkler in the pasture for the horses or set up a kiddie pool in the yard for the dogs. I want to see them enjoying being cooled off. That line of mares waiting for their turn in the hose? Snap a picture!

The two categories above will be judged on content, clarity, and creativity.

The Soul is in the Eyes (and Ears)
I want to see the window to the soul, pictures of the eyes. Mascara, blue eyes, brown eyes, partial blue eyes, hazel eyes, white around the eyes in fear, rolling in anger... Extra credit will be given to those pictures which include the ears telegraphing the feelings at the time. Ears perked-eyes wide, ears back-eyes rolling. Try it with your non-equines, too!

No Hoof, No Horse
This is your chance, paint those hooves red, sparkle them up with glitter, go all out! I want to see hooves in action...flipping out in an extended trot, all four off the ground in a canter, up in the air over your head, dirt poofing around them during a ride. Unfortunately, dogs don't have hooves, but take some pictures of their feet in action, too! Now, body inclusion is okay, but I need to see the FEET!

These two categories will be judged strongly on creativity, but clarity is very important.

Good luck...now grab those cameras and GO!

** Edited to add: There are special products available for painting your horse's hooves, please do NOT use actual paint!

You're making me work for this one! I have one entry today, but will have more later.

Here's my entry for The soul is in the eyes. Job has very soulful eyes.

almost_mozart · 07-03-2006, 12:01 PM

Here's a whole bunch for eyes--sorry they're so big, somebody's going to have to edit this, I guess.

First, two of this beautiful Paint whose name I don't even know.

Then, there's good old Boomer:

And Chrome, being his usual self.

Then Rebel, getting caught chewing on the door, and then spooking at the camera flash.

And finally, Rusty.
