7. Wow. Amazing and once again, chock full of all great choices to vote on, making it hard

to choose the best one. Thanks to the talented DUers on snapping such amazing pics, and then sharing w/ the world.

I'll probably go with the horses, they are magnificent, but I can identify with all those other brilliantly photographed creatures as well.

22. This might be the first time I don't vote in the photo contest because they're all so good!

I can't even narrow it down to my favorite three or four. I love them all!

[llmart]

23. I had to scroll through these four times.

These contests are always so difficult to choose, but this one seemed hardest for me.

Also, I don't know how I missed the first round but I'm glad I saw the finals before they ended.

Great work everyone!

[Skittles]

24. perhaps the hardest one yet!

OMG, all of these are outstanding!

[AndyS]

25. If the finals are the first you've seen you sure missed a lot!

There were 30 entries in the preliminaries and they were equally as engaging as these ten finalists.

It's not really about the competition; it's about sharing a vision, a split second in time or something you've seen that won't ever be there again.

Hats off to everybody who enters this or any other exposition. Nothin' but the best!
