Contest Results, Good News!

The results from the 2007 Spring Equine Ideal Contest have been released. 4 out of my 5 top ten images placed, which is SO amazing and nearly unbelievable.

I feel very blessed, especially since this was an international contest and I almost beat one of my mentors! ;)

Here are the images that placed:

Black & White - 2nd Place
Jill and her Icelandic



Head Studies - 3rd Place (Just shy of Scott Trees!)
QH stud colt from last year's retreat



Horses & Humans - 5th Place
Darling Ariana and her pony Bandit



Details - 6th Place
My mare's eye and my gelding's silhouette



Can't wait for the next contest - I want a blue ribbon! ;)
