Oh wow, these are all such wonderful photos. What a great contest. It looks like there will be lots of tough competition.
Nuelle photo was spectacular. It makes me want to be right there with them when they took that picture. It is so action packed.
All of these photos are stunning! Looking forward to seeing this contest.
Those are amazing photos! What a great way to celebrate our pets.
We have furry members of our family and I love these pictures. I especially like the one with the dog peeking out of the red leaves .
These are all beautiful pictures! I can’t wait to see the winner!
Wow these are all beautiful photos. Judges will have hard time deciding who will be the winner.
Wow, these are incredible! I would love to do a photo session with my cats but given that they’re cats I’m just not sure how well they would cooperate.
How fun! These pictures are gorgeous. I love taking photos of my dogs (usually dressed up in adorable costumes), but these are way beyond my skill level. Maybe I’ll give it a shot and enter anyway.
What beautiful pictures! Love them all.
wow! These photos are so special and unique. The best!
Wow! All these pictures are absolutely stunning! I had no idea the dog photography world was so intricate!
Those are all great pictures, I love taking picture of my dogs, but never look like this, amazing
What fantastic photographs and good luck to those that enter these competitions. There is nothing like amazing photos and only wished I was able to take such good ones.
These photos are so amazing. I particularly admire those with high shutter speed; the action ones such as underwater dogs, or dogs catching a tennis ball … those are unbelievable.
