Time to Vote for Animal Photography, Black and Photos of Animals

[Debra Farrington]

Hi everyone,

The photos submitted this month were wonderful, and it was very hard to choose just five photos as finalists! In order to narrow it down, I looked for photos with good contrast between black and white, and ones that seemed to tell a story. After much agonizing, my choices are below.

I'm going to change the rules a little bit from my original. The winner of this month's photo will select the finalists for next month (the theme is already set - Portraits - which I will open early next week after voting is done.) So we have themes for each month already, but each month's winner will select the finalists for voting for the following month.

Voting is now open, and will close at the end of February 17th...with an attempt to take in lots of time zones. Winner will be posted Feb 19th, and the next month's contest open then as well.

Without further delay, here are the five finalists!

1. Michelle Rennee @bokehdot



2. FBailey @fbailey


3. Hope D Jennings @mzzhope



4. Shar @sharandrah



5. CC Folk @gardenfolk
