Photo Contest Winners for MARCH!

Carri · 04-02-2008, 08:24 AM

Whew, this was an incredibly tough one to judge, there were SO many great photos.
I tried to judge each one on how well it fit the category, clarity of the pictures, and uniqueness. If your pictures did not get chosen, thank you so much for entering, and please enter again, there were just so many great pictures to choose from and there was no way I could choose them all. I narrowed it down to about 30 from each category, and then went from there.
Note on the non-equne babies... There was no way I could choose someone's human baby over someone else's, there were some REALLY great baby pictures, but I just couldn't do it, so I did not choose any of those. All of the babies were completely adorable, though...

congrats everyone .. great pictures!!

Congrats everyone!

Bystromqh · 04-02-2008, 09:29 AM

So many great photos entered last month! Congratulations everyone. I feel an overwhelming need for a baby goat, and another puppy!

Carri · 04-02-2008, 09:40 AM

OK, I think I now have everyone credited correctly, if I messed anything up, though, please feel free to PM me!
I also wanted to explain how I judged it, because when I went back and added the credits, I realized that I have several pictures from the same people in there... As I went through the thread, I just copied all of the pictures that appealed to me into a folder on my computer, so there was no identifying information with them. Then I put the pictures into their categories, and just kept trying to narrow it down more and more until what I had left was the pictures you see here. Then I placed them and announced it, and then went back and looked up who submitted each picture. I hope everyone is happy with the results! A lot of thought went into this! Thanks, Carri
