YOU DECIDE Oct. POM contest
« on: October 29, 2008, 12:38:16 PM »
We are going to do something special this month.  It has been a relative dead heat between two photos this month between all of the new judges and old.  PLUS, some controversy and I believe this will make it fair.  Photo number three was submitted prior to the contest closing but was modified in size  after the deadline.  I initially threw it out, but thought I would include it in this vote and let you choose if that was important or not.  It was a sure contender and could have possibly won the contest withhte judges.   This poll will run for approx. 24 hours and will decide the winner of this months contest and hat. 

As soon as I am capable (not on my work computer) I will attach the three photos for your reference.  For now reference the OCtober Photo of the Month Contest thread.
Photo one is Lemondogs Mtn photo
Photo Two is Blackfoots first image of an elk
Photo three is a success photo of a young man by Bucksnort

First 2 were easy to find. By the time I found blackfoots I forgot which was which previously...

8 pages of scrolling. Dont you have a super zapper that can make them appear in this thread? :dunno:
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me to.

I will Bob, but I have firewalls at work that won't let me manipulate them.  If Rob is on and has nothing better to do, he can sure add them.  I just physically can't until I get home.

They were in the wrong order and I didnt want voters getting confused so I put them in Bones original post and removed the others.

I think Lemondogs Mountain photo is probably the best, very close contest.

As much as I love the other two, especially the smile on the kids face, I had to vote Broken Bull.   I think we can all relate to that at one time or another, especially as we get older. 

Something about that pic just speaks to me of the struggles we go through, and get broken up, solitude, loneliness and yet still majestic..........

The first photo of the mountain has the cool scenery.  The second photo of the bull elk has the cool subject.  The third photo of the kid/buck has cool scenery and a cool subject in a huge buck.  If that's a WA photo...that's my choice. 

My only issue would be the vertical composition.  However, I'd just be nitpicking...  :)

 Man Im sure glad Im not one of the judges. These are tough choices as everyone of them are GREAT pictures. With That said Im putting my vote for the little guy and his buck. To me that captures it all. We all remember where we started and to what point when have progressed, this kid is just starting his journey in an obsession that we all share. This is something that he'll never forget.
