Vote for the Best January Challenge Photo: FAMILY

[Michael Ventura]

Thanks to all who submitted photos!  Getting them culled down to top 25 was fun but getting them to 8 finalists...VERY difficult! I have to admit, the animal family pics really tugged on my heart strings.  I don't shoot animal photos so I guess that makes me a vegetarian or vegan photographer 😅.  Voting closes on February 7 at midnight GMT.

 

1) Colin Woods - Family Sledding (sledging)

 

 

2) Betty LaRue - Family enjoying St Croix

 

 

3) Doc- Meerkat Family

 

 

4) NYCat - Lion and Cubs

 

 

5) ZXZOOMY - Family Photos

 

 

6) Sally Robertson - Black Swan Family

 

 

7) Ikuzmin - Family of Bonobos

 

 

8 ) Jeffery Isaac Greenberg - Mayan Grandmother and Granddaughter

Thanks Michael for selecting my but I consider that "Family" subject should be for love and ties, so I submitted images just for fun, not expecting anything... but it's up to you anyway.

 

BTW, these are not chimps but bonobo in Dr Congo 🙂

This has been so much fun. Thanks for including my family guy lion. That was not something we saw very often.

Thanks for including mine.  The mom in the background told me about snorkeling for sea glass & my daughter & I loved doing that. I have a dish of what I found in my bathroom. The mom made jewelry out of it & I bought a pair of earrings from her.

Thank you for including one of mine Michael.

Thanks Michael! I thought that would be a difficult choice!

BUMP.  Even if you are new here, please vote for your favorite "Family" photo.  We normally get 30-40 votes, so the more the merrier!

I’m going to go ahead and call this challenge closed.  I am thrilled to pass the baton to Betty LaRue and her winning photo of a family soaking up the sea and sun in St Croix!  Congrats Betty! Looking forward to your challenge topic!

Hooray for Betty!

Setting it up is no biggy. Just start a new thread with the title like the ones before. Just change the month and subject.  No penalties for copying previous verbiage.  Now when it comes time to do the poll, that is a bit trickier.  Happy to coach you then.
