You may have noted that the photo classes have no little note things under each. This is because they took the longest, and I really wanted to get these things done! Fortunately, all I have to do now is go and figure out the champions – it’s harder than it looks. My favorite out of the photos was definitely either Mohammed’s Symphony or Moon of Midnight. Moon of Midnight had the most wonderful conformation I had ever seen, and Mohammed’s Symphony had a really lovely pasture photo. Another beautiful shot was SHA* Merlin’s head photo, absolutely gorgeous!
