I'm sorry but I can't beleave that your first place horse pic was that to be quite honest that is not a very good photo!!! I know that you should have better photo's than that. I think this photo sucks.
I think the second one should have gotten 1st. The first one should have gotten 3rd. The third place should have gotten, Those are better than the ones I was going to send in.
Love the second one, but the third one is kinda lame compared to the other two. Could've gotten a better 3rd.
I like the second one best.The first one is not that great, it should have gotten third. The second one should have gotten first, and the third one should have gotten second.
I think the second picture should have gotten first. The winning photo is not at all great. It is all blurry.
I agree the second one should have been first. I don't even like the other two. Some of the honourable mentions are much better. What is it with silhouettes?
Theese pics are really good. No, the first one is not "all blury" but the second one is like heaven is shining right down on that little foal. The third one shows the unconditional love between girls and horses.
It's sad to see to negative comments left by others. Photography entails alot of factors, more than most people realize. I am sure each entrant tried different photography styles. Instead of being negative, try to be encouraging to the entrants. You will feel better about yourself as well.
