I can't get over all the entries this past week.  We had over 140 in the album alone with at least another 40 shared within our Pretty Presets Facebook group feed.  It was so hard to narrow it down to one winner.  Instead, we have 2 winners and 7 honorable mentions this week.  Thank you so much for joining us and please come back in a couple short weeks for another fun challenge.  We can't wait to share it with you!

Below are our 2 winners and 7 honorable mentions. Enjoy browsing through these images!   If you were one of the images featured, please be sure to grab a button, showcasing that you were featured on our website or group page. For our winners, please email us at support@prettypresets.com.

The WINNERS Of Our Pet Photo Challenge

Pretty Presets for Lightroom Photo Challenge Winner Beautiful white kitty being held by a little girl

Her name is Lily. Lily is a half Scottish Fold and half Chinchilla. 

Photographer: Michelle Lin

Edit: Edited with Batik from the Bohemian Collection

Pretty Presets for Lightroom Photo Challenge Winner - Dog gazing on a beach

This was last year at our favorite vacay spot, St. Simons Island, GA. I think we all knew it would be her last time at the beach. She didn't want to look at me while I tried for the shot but she just looked peaceful as the beach wind blew at her ears. We lost her 3 weeks ago at 14 and it's taken me all week to write this post. Grief definitely won't be dictated! 

Photographer: Brenda Artrip

Edit: Edited with Pretty Color Base, Airy and Light, Glitz and Selective Sharpening from Pretty Actions PURE Color Workflow.

OTHER IMAGES WE FELL IN LOVE WITH

Hamster eating a donut - Pretty Presets Photo Challenge

Photographer: Jaime Krogman‎

Edit: Edited with Buff with the Pretty Film Pastels

Cows in a field - Pretty Presets Photo Challenge

This is no ordinary cow... 
She is WORLD FAMOUS!! (neighbors pet not mine but imma steal her)

Did any of you remember a viral video going around of a young NZ girl whose family wouldn't buy her a horse, so she trained this special swiss brown cow to be a show jumper!!! 

Yep, she now lives over my back fence which is pretty cool having a celebrity next door! ( the cow not the girl😂😂). I asked her what her name was and she tried to tell me "LILAC"!!! That's one smart cookie!

Photographer: Kelly-anne Gladwin

Edit: Edited with Oystershell from the Bohemian Film Collection 

Dog in the middle of a corn field with a beautiful sunset - Pretty Presets Photo Challenge

I have so many favorites of him but this one I just love. I normally shoot landscape photos and Shelby (my boston) comes along with me 99% of the time. I always take his photo too, to document our adventures together. 

Photographer: Lindsey Keller

Edit: Edited with Clean and Creative: sharpen for babies, recover photo, lightened center and hand edits with exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, blacks and temp. Also used Depth & Drama adjustment brush on the corn stocks. (Retired Collection)

Black cat photographed against a black background - Pretty Presets Photo Challenge

Give him a window and a tree full of birds and he's the happiest cat in the world.

Photographer: Marisa Wood

Edit: Spellbound from Film Noir converted to color + Eye Sharpen and some hand edits.

older dog walking in the woods - Pretty Presets Photo Challenge

This sweet girl's name was Porche. She was almost 16 years old when these pics were taken. She was nearing the end for quite some time but I refused to let her go. I brought her in to the vet on a Thursday afternoon and was told that she had a tumor in her nose and that it was time to say goodbye (she passed away the following Tuesday). Before I could do that though I needed to have one last photoshoot for her. I love the one where she is walking towards the light and warmth because that's what I think her sweet spirit did when I finally let her go. 

Photographer: Shannon White

Edit: The colored pics were edited with Sunny Daze from the Bomb Pop Collection. And, the black and white pics were edited with Black Thorn from the Enchanted Garden Collection. Highlights brought all the way down and Vignette 2 was added to each one.

Photo of a puppy and then a picture of it a year later in the same spot - Pretty Presets Photo Challenge

This is Maisie Mae. The first photo was taken just after we got her (a year ago this weekend) and the second photo was taken yesterday. Oh, what a year can do!! We love this spunky girl! 

Photographer: Brenda Cienfuegos

Edit: Both photos edited with Teaberry from Pretty Film Pastels. 

Boy holding a chicken - Pretty Presets Photo Challenge

Oh, the love my son has for our chickens. 

Photographer: Alima Kirsten 

Edit:  Edited with Black Thorn from the Enchanted Garden
