***May Photo Contest: The Winners*** [View all]

The moment we've all been waiting for: Who won?

The theme: Dogs! It was chosen by Grumpy Old Guy.

Dogs!
I have been involved with several contests, and I've noticed one thing in particular. Photos that include a dog always do well. I'm sure it's because people love dogs. It's almost as if the dog photos have an unfair advantage. Therefore, I think it's time to level the playing field. Every photo has to include a dog!
Dogs rule!


The Winners!

In First Place: Sarge, now on eternal watch by HAB911!




In Second Place: New Baby. First Bath. by Mira!





In Third Place: Puppy Having A Ball by groundloup!




Congratulations to all of these winners with their astonishing and meaningful photos! This has been a great contest.
And thanks to all who entered, left comments and had fun doing everything!
