People or Animals Getting Dirty

This is a wonderful image! I love that you chose a different viewpoint for your shot. And the clarity and focus is perfect; I can clearly see the individual grains of sand. There were so many great photos in this contest. Congratulations and great job!

This is such a joyful photo. The facial expression and body language of the horse really caught my attention. He is clearly enjoying his roll in the sand! The clarity and focus is spot on. Congratulations for doing such a great job in this contest!

This is a great photo! I like that you made it black and white; it allows the viewer's eyes to really focus on the boys' faces and the mud. And the joyful faces of the boys is the focal point of this image! There were some great photos in this contest but this was my clear choice for first place!

This is such a great photo! Your timing of the shot was perfect. Even though the boy is looking down, I can still see enough of his facial expression to really appreciate his satisfaction and joy. The focus on the boy is crystal clear and the stop-action of the splash adds the element of motion. Wonderful shot!
