Western/Autumn Photo Challenge Finalists.

Today, Alexandrea and I looked at all of the entries, and we picked our top 11! The way this will work, is we'll both set up polls on our blog, and then you can vote for your favorite entries twice.  On the 10th of November, we will add up all the votes, and the 4 entries that have the most votes, will win the four prizes! (So it is important that you spread the word if you won, so you get as many votes as possible!). And let me just say, there were so many amazing photos out there... that we wished we could pick all of them (in addition to award all of them a prize;). However, since we must move on, here are the top picks: 

 Alexandra Marie...yours was just incredibly beautiful, so peaceful looking....and I love the color-pop on the nails! gorgeous girl! Wonderful capturing of the theme!

 Jenny.   The colors. The dancing, swaying, reddish-gold. *deep breath*   The leaves almost look as if they're swirling! Beautiful job!

Janelle Putrich~ Mmm. I could totally go for this- with some hot chocolate. The lamps make it look festive, and the books, the cozy warmth of fall in the outdoors. Brilliant;) 

Katelyn... totally an immediate favorite. You captured a live moment! Beautiful subject, and the leaves make me jealous- i want some here, already! ;D 

Louis- I love the "smokey" look in the background, and the focus on the horses...and the cowboy(: I can just feel the chill of early morning on a ranch. Nice job!

 Lucia.. I admire your creativeness! You placed what you love about fall on a {beautiful yet simple} background of wood.  The kitty's adventurous nose and whiskers make me smile. Lovely pop of color with the leaves, too!

 Luke...I love the angle of the street you captured! It's so pretty, and simplistic (looks like daily life). The yellow leaves of the tree make it(:

 Madison- I love the fact that you captured both themes in one picture! I love the boots design and the leaves. *swoon* 

 Mary Kate...This is just...ah! The leaves on the wet grass, the angle, and I especially love the lighting.. perfection. Autumn sparkle at its best. 

Meredith... I love this photo...the swirling leaves are beautiful... it's  gorgeous, and so is the girl in it! <3

 

Sadie Abigail: Gorgeous! I think you may have taken it on your ipod or something {hence the small photo!} Beautiful photo- the colors and reflection are lovely.
