Do we have a winner yet? or are we past the deadline? 

I believe the deadline is 26th of each month.

This is my son's first deer.  He was 10 at the time.

ZRS is correct.  You still have time to enter.  This months winner should certainly be proud as there is some great competition.

It is a great picture. Don't forget to sign him up for Ray's binoculars give-away in the general discussion area. I am always amazed by the talent the kids demonstrated when they started young.

And after I sent it i realized what a bad dad I am since he was only 10!

Geez Pope, I should have had you doctor my pics up before I posted them 

Pope certainly does a great job touching up a good photo into a great one, especially for the saturation of color tone. It is challenging for me to work on the jpg file (raw gives more freedom to work with). Much to learn from him.

I didn't even bump up the saturation on this one.  In fact, I unsaturated a bunch of the reds (blood) like on his hands and the mouth of the ram.  The only thing I really did was take out the blood and bump up the contrast, then re-crop.

Part of the problem I have with photos is that my monitor displays different than yours.  My monitor at home really shows the colors off, while my monitor at work is really flat.  If I adjusted a photo on my flat monitor, it looks way too saturated on my home monitor.  Your monitor may be different.  Remember, when you see a photo that has been doctored up and may be too saturated or not quite right, that person may have a different monitor than you and it may look more normal on their monitor.  Just food for thought...

This is a picture of my Father when I came back to him after a morning archery elk hunt. He said I left him to long on stand and the moss that grows on trees started to grow on him. It was a great trip!
