Thanks to a few few SL3S Shutter Slingers we got our contest off the ground. Learn you a bit more about the SL3S contest and rules click here. Cast a Rustlers Choose ballot for QQR2's entries here. As there's no way to stop a rustler you can vote a many times as you want!
Below are all 24 entries from three Shutter Slingers entered in Quarterly Qualifying Round 1 (QQR1). The Slingers took these photos on the Sheldon Lake SP spread between July 1 and September 30, 2009 in four categories: Flora (plants); Fauna (critters); People in the Park (folks at the park); and Scenic (catch all for any photo).
Photos are lettered (e.g. FAa) at the top and the winners and favorites are marked as follows:
CATEGORY WINNER - Official winning entriy. A photo that will be in the final, Bounty Round where the cash-money prizes are awarded.
RUSTLERS' CHOICE - Tabulated from the Rustlers Choose ballots. Anyone can fill out a Ruslters Choose ballot. The ballot and voting is just like them official judges. The photographer whose entries garner the most Rustler beads over the four QQR's will win the SL3S "Rustlers' Choice Award."
PHOTO WRANGLER'S "FAVORITE OF THE QQR" - Like the lowest ranch hand, the Photo Wrangler spends most his time working with the stock and getting it "ballot ready" for the judges. What the Photo Wrangler thinks don't count for nothing in the selection of the winners. Still, every, humble Photo Wrangler has his favorite.
