Challenge 194 - All Creatures Great and Small

[Stackman]

Many thanks for the entries, all were of a very high standard, it was pleasing to see the different ways the theme had been interpreted.

I'm not going to go through each one as they were all technically very good and it was difficult to choose between them, each had something that related to the theme. So, it is down to my personal preference, trying to judge each image on what the photograph means, why was it taken, etc. All could have easily been in the top three.

My choice for the top three in reverse order are:

3 - Hougun, the eye contact and tight crop makes me wonder what Hougun is thinking, looks great in mono.
2 – Pooch on a mission, easy to see why this was taken, just makes you smile.

and finally the winner is

1 – Busy Time, this sums up the theme and is beautifully taken.

Well done everybody who entered and particularly Nigel, so over to you for the next challenge.

Thank you so much Chris for hosting this challenge, it was a lot of fun and every single entry was well taken, I wouldn't of liked the job of chosing a winner for this one, it would have been tough.

A special well done to Alex and Ian, very well deserved and a huge congrats to Nigel for his win. As soon as I saw this image I had a feeling it would win. Very well deserved.

Looking forward to the next challenge Nigel
