Dog Photographer of the Year

[Rachael]

Well, I didn't even know there was such a thing, but there you go. Here are the winners. Interestingly, most are amateur photographers.

@wormentude It's always fun to jump over and see these links. Thanks for sharing this one. Besides having some great photos of dogs, it was inspirational to see how many amateurs were winners!

The Rotty on the mans shoulder is one great pic!

These are great, but we also have a great dog photographer in our midst. If you haven't seen @Steveh 's photos of his dog Oscar, you're missing out. Here is a sampling of the kinds of photos you'll find interspersed within his project.

They're all great shots.

This isn't strictly dog photography, but this guy does very simple and classic animal (and human) portraits. Check it out!

@lisjam1 wow thank you very much Lisabell , it is very kind off you to mention my photos in such great company.. thank you I am very humbled

[Rachael]

@steveh I also thought of you as I was looking through. One of the photos has the same breed of dog as yours, I think, but not such a good photo.

[Lisabell]

@steveh The pleasure is all mine. I've enjoyed all of your photos, but Oscar's exploits bring an automatic smile to my face and you capture him so well. (Oddly enough, my favorite cat was named Oscar and he was a character.)

@wormentude Nooooooo, even tho I am sure it was all good fun, it would not be my cup of tea.
