Here are the finalists for the Pics and Kicks Hope Contest. There were so many AMAZING entries. Thank you so much to all who entered! The response was fantastic, far more than I'd anticipated. It was a real challenge to narrow it down to 3 finalists, so Jon and I (with a little help from Richie and Callie of course) went with 4 instead. We chose finalists based on relevance, composition and overall image strength.

Awesome finalists...#4 for sure!!!
2 Even though they're all great.
I like #2.
Oh....and Happy Belated Birthday. I hope it rocked!
Hmmm, these are good...and thought provoking. I think I would pick #2 for Hope...#4 is probably my favorite though...it is like the fulfillment of hope...whatever that word might be.
They're all awesome! Great photos. I would choose:
First choice - #4
Runner-up - #3
They are all fantastic but definitely number 2 for me.
My vote is for number two. I like the silhouette! Number 4 for runner up :)
Brooke.
I say number four - but number two is a close second. I think number four because I think we all have hopes and dreams. To me number four kind of says, no matter how young or old you are, hold on to your hopes. (and I too, hope someday that I can take this picture with my hubby... it's cute)
I say #4 cause who doesn't hope for that someday?
#4. i hope my husband and i are still alive and married that long.
I have to go with number 4 too Natalie - it says to me that there is always Hope, always.
I've gotta vote for #4 also. Very sweet.
number 4!
Number 4!!!
Great photo
#4
Number F O U R ! They are each other's hope--look how she holds onto him, how he makes his arm strong for her. Their lives give us all hope for a future filled with love.
The others are amazing pics, but number four is Hope.
Hey - can we see some of the other entires sometime--just for fun? I'll bet you've got some great photogs hanging around Pics and Kicks.
geez, where is the love for number 3? my vote is for number 3. so fantastic.
Notice I did pick #3 as my runner-up! It really is an awesome picture - it spoke hope to me too. But 4's still my #1:)
#4
it touches so deeply on hope that you will actually want to touch and be close to your loved one after a long life. brillant!
FOUR!!! wooo hoo!!
#4. All of the others are great pictures, but to me, #4 conveys the idea of hope the most and is also an awesome photo.
i chose 2--love the silhouette, it could make a great book cover!
#4 it says hope all the way....
#4- fully emulates hope. Isn't that what we all hope for.
#4. exactly what i hope for..
ps: i have no blogger id still, but this is rizwan tariq

Absolutely number FOUR gets my vote!
#4. Happy. Hopey. Yup. :)
#3 please. Gorgeous!

i really like number 2. love you!!
#1 is a really cool picture -- a couple of the others just look more like the topic to me.
#1 says hopeful to me
3 for sure.
1 for runner up
#4 for me - I love the colors, I love the message and brings hope alive
Wow look at those clouds! its like they are in motion.

I like #1
Natalie...do you sleep? My calculations tell me that you're editing photos at 4:30 am. You must not be human.
Wait, or is it 2:30am?
Image 4.
What I see first is that there's hope for love to last a lifetime. Good images all, but this one earns my vote.
4
My vote is for number 2
I am #4, because too often that is not what happens in the world. Hope of TRUE ENDURING LOVE!!
LOOKS LIKE MY GRAND PARENTS WHO LIVED TO BE ALMOST 100 AND DIED WITHIN 7 DAYS OF EACH OTHER.. I VOTE FOR NUMBER 4
#3, Tough one but if I have to choose one...
Am I allowed to vote? Because I'd vote for #1. I LOVE the composition. It is such a strong image and conveys , in a less obvious way perhaps, such a sense of hope! I love it. I also really love #3 . . . gol, they're all awesome. Thanks to everyone who's voted so far!
GRANDMA & GRANDPA LOVE! PINK AND BLUE? PEARL NECKLACE AND TIE BAR? BUTTONS GALORE? RING ON THE WIFE. NO RING ON THE HUBBY (PROBABLY OUTGREW IT, LOST IT (TYPICAL) OR GAVE IT TO HIS SON/GRANDSON WHEN HE GOT MARRIED AS AN HEIRLOOM AND FAMILY TRADITION).
caaa.la.SIC. HOPE!
TELLS A NICE STORY.
I vote for number 1.
i like the idea for number 4 but it wasn't conducted well. its a little cold in the coloring. i choose number 2 i think that is done very well!
i agree! #2 is the best!!
