Congrats to all three of you for having such great pictures!

September's POTM theme will be DOGS! Post pics of your beloved pooches! It must be a dog you own or owned in the past...and it must be a picture you yourself have taken. All other Contest Rules also apply.

Thank you all for making each month's contests a great success!!!

I cant believe #3 isnt winning.......

No offense to the other 2 pictures but i think #3 blows the other 2 out of the water...

NEVERMIND.
I thought you said that #3 blows. Oops.

I read that wrong..

Wow still very close! I think they are all great but I personally voted for #3. Both the picture and the snake are breathtaking. :gj:

Hmm 3 or 2....3 or 2....very hard one imo. But voting...3!

#3 all the way!

I got to go w/ #1

I like the subject/pose in one the best, but think three is the best photo quality(ie lighting/focus) wise. I cant decide which one is better overall though. Im just honored so many people enjoyed mine and that it made it this far.

two is just perfect for me. :snake:

I like #2 as well... yes, babies in the egg are cuuuute - but they win all the time. Something a little different this time!

You guys are trippin!

Congrats again to Envied Reptiles!! That was one heck of a race to the finish!

Are you guys planning on making the rules, so that you can only win 1 category per month? I think that would be an awesome Idea.

Not tryin to bash here, it just seems that the pics that always win, shouldnt win.

I mean maybe I have the most horrible taste, but its just crazy thoughts

Thanks Pat, I appreciate it!:gj:

PERFECT EXAMPLE!!!! LOL


And like I said, not tryin to bash anyone here, all the pictures are good in their own right!

I dont know the original posters really of the images, but i chose Number two because the overal Composition of the photo is Superb.

The focus is spot on. Now if you upped the shutter speed, and captured that tongue in a still shot it would have been PERFECT! (I hope you dont mind critique! Its a great shot!, i just figured that a little artistic comment might be appreciated ) * Or not! in which case, i am sorry but dont take it as anything more than a friendly suggestion! :D*

Congratulations to Envied Reptiles. That is one great looking animal. Also great photos for the contest. http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/8399/thumbsup4kk.gif

Hahahahaha I was thinking all of that for number three!! LOL The whole picture is in focus, from the snake, to the egg, to the goo. number two yes, the majority of it is in focus is the body, leaving the head completely UN focused. Even with an upped shutter speed, the tongue would not have been clear.


....I dont know....kinda weirded out by this months BOTM
