Great photo's everyone!

I know what is is to judge a photocompetition, only the on I judged was I bit easier  ;) less photo's, less competitors and even it then was almost impossible to pick the best photo.......so good luck judges
greetings,
Marina, Saartje and Teun

I am loving the photo competition and love looking every eve to see the new ones, some great snaps in there. Ive enjoyed trawling through my hundreds of photos for my fave ones of Willow, however me and OH cant agree on them, so he had chosen a few as have I. Good luck to you all.  :D

I'm so far just perusing the competition so I can plan a last minute photo session and then will swamp the system with all my spectacularly bad pictures of my gorgeous doggies....I feel though mine should get some sort of handicap for having me as the photographer  :005: :005:

No it'snot judged on ability but I seem absolutely incapable of getting Sally as anything other than a black blob with no eyes.....even taking my ability out of it that is not showing her at her best LOL

Sometimes having a black dog on a black or dark grey background will work.

yes it's a lovely photo but unfortunately we can't include it in judging as the rules clearly state -

"Photos should be relatively recent ones, taken within the last year "

Can I take this opportunity to please ask EVERYONE to read the photo competition rules - we do have to go through the threads and remove photo's that don't follow the rules which is really disappointing  :-\ 

The rules are there to be fair to everyone .
