4-H Horse Photography Contest – Sample Photos That Do Not Fit Categories (35mm/Digital)

Breed Promotion – HORSE or HORSE & PERSON


YES – it identifies the breed very well by showing the breed’s

characteristics such as coat pattern!

NO – nice photo, but could be any breed of horse. It is not readily identified as a

certain breed by any outstanding characteristics.

Which photo is CORRECT for the category?

Photo Source: appaloosa.com


YES – this photo DEFINATELY shows ACTION!

NO – nice photo, but there is NO ACTION. This

colt is very still!


Action – HORSE or HORSE & PERSON



YES – this photo shows NO ACTION! This colt is

completely still!

NO – great photo, but there is DEFINITELY

ACTION!


Non-Action – HORSE or HORSE & PERSON


Photo Source: appaloosa.com


YES – this photo is creative,

something that you would like to

frame!

NO – great photo, but there is VERY LITTLE of the horse showing, therefore

the horse is not the primary focus! This would

be more suited to the regular State Photography

Contest!


Human Interest – HORSE or HORSE & PERSON


NO – great photo of your barn cat but keep in mind

that this is HORSE PHOTOGRAPHY! This

would be more suited to the regular State

Photography Contest!
