Title: YOU DECIDE Oct. POM contest
Post by: boneaddict 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

8 pages of scrolling. Dont you have a super zapper that can make them appear in this thread? :dunno:

Post by: luvtohnt on October 29, 2008, 01:33:16 PM: I think Lemondogs Mountain photo is probably the best, very close contest.

Post by: robodad on October 29, 2008, 01:45:26 PM: I voted for that broken down old bull, seems he has a better story to tell then the mountain does !!!

As for the boy with the buck, I think his story is just begining !!! Nice Job !!

Post by: ThePascoKid on October 29, 2008, 04:13:25 PM: I gotta go with the kid, to me it captures everything october is about, nice bucks, good company, and beautiful scenery.
Title: Re: YOU DECIDE Oct. POM contest
Post by: DeKuma on October 29, 2008, 04:19:40 PM: 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..........

Title: Re: YOU DECIDE Oct. POM contest
Post by: popeshawnpaul on October 29, 2008, 05:20:40 PM: 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... :)

Post by: boneaddict on October 29, 2008, 06:14:29 PM: DAMN, votes are about as tight as with the judges. LOL
Title: Re: YOU DECIDE Oct. POM contest
Post by: Hunting Cowboy on October 29, 2008, 06:57:30 PM: I very much like all three. lemondogs scenary photo is awesome, The elk photo is very nice! But the young man with the buck says October hunting in WA to me so that's my vote.

Post by: Sagedawg on October 30, 2008, 11:59:26 AM: 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.
