July Photo Contest Winners!

**Range** · 08-01-2006, 09:43 AM

Wow, you all took some very nice pictures and it was oh so hard to judge! But, since I had to, here are the results.

Summer Dreaming:

Equine

First is actually a tie between pictures since they are both of dandeeqh's foal. I just love these shots, like the foal was playing, slid into first, and fell asleep!

Second goes to dodib and this sweetly dreaming foal - it's the expression on the face that does it, visions of green fields anyone?

Third is to Sundance, this boy is sleeping so hard his lips are flattened on the ground!

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...9/100_2397.jpg

Non-equine

First is this lovely dog by greyhorse, I can almost see the drool!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...y132005010.jpg

Second is to this crashed out asleep, an intruder might not wake me up dog of Snickers'.

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a4/...2/000_3060.jpg

Muttduck gets third with this picture. Now, I'm not sure if this is a dog or a cat, but whatever the fuzzy thing is, it has a big behind that it is trying SO hard to keep on that chair!

Honorable mentions go to these pictures!

OSUJillyBean's amazing kitty.

Midnightstarr's kitty asleep with something in its paw.

Cooling Off:

Equine

First goes to Sundance and the swimming horse, entirely in that water to cool off.

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...r/100_3111.jpg

Second is sassy's little one with water shooting straight up that nose.

http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f2...3/HPIM3570.jpg

Third is the coordinated team exiting the cooling waters of the pond from abigail91101.

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...lleinwater.jpg

Non-equine

First absolutely had to go to tnahorses' dog completely covered by water in the horse trough! Perfect sized doggie pool, there!

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h1...r/2b51b7a2.jpg

Second is QuarterCowGirl's Yeti trying to figure out how to get that fuzzy body entirely in the bucket of water.

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...icture1411.jpg

Third is Promise Ranch's Luka, loving the hose. That series of pictures was great!

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...playwater3.jpg

There is a fourth in this category, jules1962's dog in the human pool.

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...s/DSC_6558.jpg

An honorable mention must go to KJUN's dog in the bathtub because I think that dog in the background wants in, too!

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...oolingOff2.jpg

Soul is in the Eyes:

This was a very, very hard category to judge! There are many soulful eyes out there.

Equine

First is this beautiful shot of a regal blue eye from oveywon.

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...4/Bluesoul.jpg

These eyes are kind of spooky that alihaspharaoh captured so well for second.

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...h/bbf7301a.jpg

These eyes get third. Kahlua Twist's horse seems to be afraid of the camera!

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y12...Picture008.jpg

And, of course, there must be an honorable mention - doyle82's picture of these eyes, which look kind of sad to me.

http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l2...wtoKissoul.jpg

Non-equine

First goes to this picture from mellowdane, the deer in the woods.

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...e/deercrop.jpg

OSUJillyBean's big eyed kitty comes in second.

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...artparrot3.jpg

There is a tie for third place because I loved both of these pictures.

I truly love the scared eyes of this poor dog, taken by KJUN, he seems to be saying, "Please save me!"

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...m/P1010244.jpg

Rudy got a great picture of these eyes!

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...9/edff76ed.jpg

The category would not be complete without an honorable mention.

Cook1745 took a picture of a happy dog with two different colored eyes.

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...5/100_2260.jpg

No Hoof, No Horse:

Equine

First goes to Rudy, though thinking it was a new twist on the category, this was exactly the kind of shot I was looking for! That there is one big hoof!

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...9/edff7c87.jpg

Second goes to sundance for the naturally painted hooves.

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...ancyhooves.jpg

Third is the horse with the hooves in the air by scgaiter.

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k1...rimyGrima1.jpg

Non-equine

Of course, first place goes to QuarterCowGirl who, at one time, went all out and decorated Jolene's hooves, I'll be she felt SO pretty!

[http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...Picture991.jpg

Second is a nice picture of four goatie hooves, taken by Promise Ranch.

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...h/hoofgoat.jpg

The dog has feet, too! Third is the picture of dogs' feet in the air by gingerfleguel.

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...l/60ccf7dc.jpg

Congratulations to everyone! I enjoyed seeing all of your pictures and it really was a tough one to judge!

doyle82 · 08-01-2006, 12:48 PM

Not bad! Honorable mention the first time posting for a contest! I don't know why he looks so sad in that photo. I think it had just started raining out and he absolutely hates the rain.

Rebecca · 08-01-2006, 12:53 PM

WONDERFUL PICTURES!
It must have been very difficult to decide.

**divinemisselle** · 08-01-2006, 12:54 PM

I don't know how you waded through to decide the winners this month!

I think you deserve a prize just for that!

And I have to clarify, that animal in the tot spot chair is my porch kitty, Cleo (The Plop-Plop).

Congrats to all the winners! Beautiful artwork!

**QuarterCowGirl** · 08-01-2006, 12:55 PM

That must have taken you awhile, so many great pics! Congrats to all the winners!

snickers · 08-01-2006, 01:01 PM

There was a lot of great photos!!

OSUJillyBean · 08-05-2006, 11:37 PM

Aww - all the images say "this image or video has been moved or deleted"

**Range** · 08-06-2006, 09:36 AM

Okay, this technology thing isn't as easy as it looks! I fixed the winners' section, sort of. Look at it this way, it's easier for those with dial up now!

Sassy · 08-06-2006, 10:46 PM

Awesome picture congrats everyone!

Rudy · 08-10-2006, 03:54 PM

Thanks Range!

I didn't think I'd place at all, especially with the No Hoof No Horse. That's awesome!!!
