I'm sure someone else can articulate this better than I can, but I think it's absolutely amazing that the judges were able to pick not just 10, but 17 fantastic images. Great going everybody! Woot!

No joke! Go team!!!

anonymouscuban · June 15, 2009

This was an awesome round. Congrats to all the finalists. I thought it was going to end up being a difficult vote but there was one image that was my absolute favorite and luckily it was picked as a finalist.

Good job everyone and good luck!

Now on to contemplate DSS #28.

silversx80 · June 15, 2009

What a fun round! I really enjoyed taking the shots too (the air show really made it all that much more enjoyable). I'm surprised that I actually made it in the finals with all the great photos that were submitted. I couldn't have submitted anything close to worthy without the great C&C I got beforehand.

Well, I voted shortly after the poll was submitted. I voted for my favorite of the 17, but for the life of me, I can't remember which one that is. They're all so great.

michswiss · June 15, 2009

This is the first time I've made the short list since joining DGrin. Humbling given the quality of the images and photographers on this site. Congrats to everyone and good luck.

On to the next round....

Flyinggina · June 15, 2009

Almost all of my favorites made it into the finals this round.

I'm honored and very humbled to be included. Special thanks to those of you who commented on my proposed entry and pushed me to improve it.

There are some simply amazing shots - each one special in its own way - singular, one might say.

bow

It is going to be very hard for me to choose just one.

Gotta sleep on it.

Bravo to everyone who participated. Black and white brought out really amazing creativity and vision. Be proud!!

JAG · June 16, 2009

WOW!:wow What an amazing set of images!! I am really honored that mine is included in the fabulous set! Thank you!

davev · June 16, 2009

My thanks to the judges that threw my shot into the mix.
Lots of great shots, good luck everyone.

Katmitchell · June 16, 2009

Congrats you guys... some wonderful shots and a fun round of activity on the board too... Off to vote..:D

cbsnet · June 16, 2009

Foal and mommy..
Thanks for all the kind words about the photo!!!

Baby (Clear Cadence or CC) was born 6/3/09 at 11:45pm. She was standing in about 15minutes and was happily nursing about 3am. By 5:30 we took a nap for two hours and then got up and took more photos. The photo I entered in was taken a little after 9am. Throughout the night I took tons of photos and video and mom was great with us being there.

It's somewhat intimidating taking photos of an animal that if for some reason was concerned about her baby, can send you 20 feet into the air before you realize what happened.

Again thanks for all the kind works and please visit other photos at...

Wonderful photo(s) Carl, thanks for sharing

Gongratulations to all the beautiful entries this round - I know it was hard to pick up just 10

Congratulations to the finalists - I see that almost all my favorites are here

... and I'm so happy to see mine part of them - Thank you so much!!! :ivar

sherstone · June 16, 2009

Cooolness.....

Thank you everyone!
Congratulations to all of the entrants and finalists, one super wild ride of a round this time. Now we get to hang on for the final loop de loop

(excuse the roller coaster analogy, but I always feel white knuckled at this stage)

What a hard job both Greensquared and Hoofclix had, thanks to both of you!

ic4u · June 16, 2009

Congrats everyone...great stuff!

AnnasPhotos · June 16, 2009

Congrats to everyone. What a round. Great shots.

clap

richtersl · June 16, 2009

Good gawd! I've yet to vote. Can we pick more than one? Pretty please? :curtsey

No, huh? :smack

Seriously, I've lived through a number of these challenges and I've not seen a round like this. I'm not surprised that the judges could not agree on a number of them. I expected to see a poll of 20 entries to choose from and I wasn't that far off.

There was some really fine work exhibited in this round.

Congratulations to those who made the cut.

The color version is every bit as nice as the B&W one you entered into this challenge. I hope that one of them will be hanging on your wall.

KevXman · June 16, 2009

Wow!

cbsnet · June 16, 2009

Actually it will be hanging in the Rotunda in the Capital building (Harrisburg) during the month of November. The speaker of the house invited me as the artist of the month. I'm going to setup each column with a theme and equine will be one of them. Please come visit for the opening reception!

dnie · June 16, 2009

I did it, I plunged in and voted... but it was not easy. There were several that I wanted to vote for and all of them were fabulous, just like all the other entries.

Congrats to everyone!

Congrat's to everyone. Amazing photo's from all. Good luck to all the finalist. It took forever to pick just one. Now I need a nap. Wow

Greensquared · June 16, 2009

This was definitely one of the toughest rounds to judge, and I've judged more than a few! It was my pleasure and honor to do so, though I still have yet to cast my vote. Amazing work, everyone. The quality here is on such an awesome level - fantastic work everyone!

Yeah. Lots and lots of quality images. Very good work from a whole lot of people. I've been swamped with work and such for the past 4 weeks and not been able to contribute much to the conversation and critiques here; but I still drop in, look, and learn from everyone. Congrats to all the finalists!
