The best sleddog photography 2021
1st Place Danielle Kock
Review Monica van Maden:
Danielle has really done a great job here, The composition is correct, a nice sharpness of the dogs and a nice soft background so that the attention for me immediately goes to the dogs .. what completes the picture for me is the almost synchronous attitude of both dogs and the happy faces, the tension on the leash that you see in the left dog to the scooter and the active attitude of the owner! And all this together with the beautiful autumn colors is definitely the winning photo for me! Very well done Danielle ..

The best sleddog portrait photography 2021
First place Harold Spierenburg
Review Nuelle Flipsea
Fantastic portrait! Everything is present in this photo. You can see the vapor coming from the fur and the soft autumn colors in the background complete the picture. This beautiful dog is ready! The structure of this photo is very nice.
That has been thought about! The soft foreground, the sharpness on the head and the eyes of the dog and then you see the blur again running away to the back. The light falls very nicely on the fur and illuminates the whole just right. A picture!
It is not easy to photograph a dog with both white and black fur where both remain clearly visible instead of the white biting out and the black looking like a dark spot. In this photo you can see the hairs of the fur in both black and white.
Nice work and this is the winning photo for me!
Second place Yvonne Bekkers
Review Nuelle Flipsea
Marvelous picture! Although the dogs are relaxed, you can still see the concentrated look on what is to come. The second dog that falls into the blur completes this photo. There's a story in it! Compliments here too that both the white and black fur are perfectly highlighted. The sharpness is "spot on", you can count the hairs on the ears.
What is very beautiful and strong in this photo is the repetition factor. You see two dogs where the colors keep coming back. Right down to the piece of blue on the collar! Beautifully seen and well captured!!
Third place Gea Strucks
Review Nuelle Flipsea
An endearing photo that will keep you looking! You see the rain drops falling on the dog and that gives the wet coat. This betrays that this is not just an outdoor portrait, but a photo taken at a special location where work is being done.
The soft look almost misleads you at first! But you can see from the pulled leash that this dog is ready for the action! Beautiful are the eyes that differ in color in combination with the expressive look of this dog.
A beautiful portrait with a good story! Nice work!
The best triptych sleddog photography 2021
First place Antoine Sprangers
Rating Henny Robben:
Antoine really did a wonderful job here. The composition is right, a nice sharpness of the dog and participant, a nice soft background so that the attention for me goes straight to the dog and participant. The three photos fit well together and from the triptych someone who was not present at the race can still see that this is a sled dog race.
The concentration of dog and participant before the race. The finish with a tired face of the participant and the dog that looks nicely into the lens completes the picture nicely. How well the match went or not the bond with dog and owner is the most important and is clearly translated in photo three.
And all this together with the beautiful outfit of the participant and beautiful dog, this is definitely the winning photo for me!
Very well done Antoine.

Second Place Talitha Schop
Rating Henny Robben:
Talitha did a fantastic job and she did a very good and beautiful job, I know better than anyone how difficult it is to photograph a black dog in action, without it becoming a big black spot…. and certainly also when the weather conditions are much less, so you have to make good choices with your camera for the right settings, and that worked out well here!
What I personally like about this triptych is that you can clearly see that the dog and participant are working very hard together. At the finish photo, the dog is nicely sharp and it can be seen that the participant quickly stops his time on his watch.
The last photo shows the bond between participant and dog very nicely, I think this photo is the strongest of the triptych.
Well done Talitha!

Third Place Annemiek Muller-Rijnaard
Beoordeling Henny Robben:
Annemiek heeft hier een duidelijke drieluik afgeleverd van de Kivo Kempentrail 2021. Zoals vele fotograven kunnen beamen dat de weeromstandigheden niet heel prettig waren met veel regen en blubber tijdens de race.
De drieluik verteld het verhaal goed van het sledehonden team in de wedstrijd de concentratie van de musher omdat de trail enorm uitdagend was door de blubber. En op de laatste foto de drink pauze van de leidhondjes omdat het toch best warm was voor de hondjes. Nu denk ik wel dat het hondje links op de foto toch geen zin had in een blubber bad 😊
Goed verhaal en goed gedaan Annemiek!
