Weekly Challenge #287 - Pets
Posted By: atupdate, 06-08-2014, 01:19 PM

This week's challenge is Pets. Your challenge this week is to show me your pet or your neighbor's pet, or visit a pet store.

Pets can be a challenge to shot, as they don't always want to pose. So break out the treat box and give it your best shot.

This challenge will run until Sunday June 15th at 5PM EDST. Can't wait to see the entries!

Every week, a new theme is picked and judged by the winner of the previous week.

Everyone is eligible to send in their best interpretation of the given theme, as long as the photo is taken with a Pentax/Samsung camera. Themes can be subject-oriented or technique-oriented.

Rules
1. Post ONE photo (max 1024x1024).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread and explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme (especially if it's not obvious).
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose one of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus an additional day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax (or Samsung DSLR) camera can be used.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.
9. In case the winner of a challenge is unable to become the judge for the next challenge, they will PM the #2 winner for that person to be the judge.

Examples

Good luck to everyone.

Great start so far. As many of you know, my family and I foster dogs for a rescue group called SICSA. Our current foster dog is a brindle pit bull (Kalli) that is expecting. In honor of this challenge, Kalli delivered her first of our new litter at about 11:45 am this morning.

Here is Kalli




Here is Kalli and her first pup (3 so far)

Oh my gosh Tim... what an awesome looking dog. She brings back many fond memories and a tear to my eye as I remember my pitty friends long ago passed. Thank you so much for sharing this special moment with us.

Batman

Our cat Batman. He is very investigative and a gentle soul. His brother is a bit goofier with grey and white fur which makes him look like he is wearing a mask, hence his name Robin. They have a great dynamic.

You Can't See Me! Not my cat, but my neighbor's out on the prowl. He was very annoyed when he saw that I saw him.

Callie

This is Callie, a pup that we fostered. She was abandoned because she was 'born with only one eye'. (Some people!) Sweet and very playful normally, but tuckered out from romping when I took this shot.

She now has a permanent home, but I printed this shot on canvas and have it hanging at home as a reminder.

I may change it later, I really didn't get a shot I liked and it's hot and buggy out.... but for now...
OK one change... none of that sweet syrupy "cute puppy" stuff for me.
Looks like the same pair as in post#3 - are you related to tessfully?
And is changing the photo later really allowed in the rules? Seems a tad unfair to me - just satin'

Norm and Tess are husband and wife. Changing images is allowed but it is recommended that you notify the host, as they may not see the change.

Don't sweat the small stuff. Generally the first image posted is considered the default challenge entry. Since there is no real prize involved with this challenge, it is not a big deal. Besides, I'm loving all the images posted so far.

Litter update: 6 puppies so far and we think there will be another one shortly.

Here's our dufus, taken last week while I was testing my new-to-me DA 40 Limited.
