Title: Re: 2008 Huntwa Photo of the YEAR contest.
Post by: Titan-1 on January 02, 2009, 11:30:48 PM: Gooooood pic's, Hard to choose witch one is the best, there all good!
Title: Re: 2008 Huntwa Photo of the YEAR contest.
Post by: popeshawnpaul on January 02, 2009, 11:42:21 PM: It really depends on what you are looking for. Lemondog has the great landscape kill shot, while Alpinegus has an amazing once in a lifetime goat picture. If I could have any of the animals pictured in the contest it would be Gus's goat for sure. Bowsandhose has a huge elk which is many people's favorite (including my wife, she says they eat the best). There are a few nice landscape shots in there but that isn't what huntwa is about. The photo of the kid with the buck is hard to resist as well even though the composition always throws me off. Slider has the great photo of a huge buck for WA, but a buck of his caliber isn't hard to find in other states. Javman really has a photo that says "Washington" if we aren't voting for a kill photo. When many think of WA you think of rainforest and rosey bulls. And it is a technically great photo. Mray's photo is nice but this isn't fishwa. I think I'll keep my vote a secret as half the guys that are in the contest are friends... :)

Post by: addicted on January 03, 2009, 01:05:05 AM: i really like pope's and slider's but javmans bull pic is awesome.
Title: Re: 2008 Huntwa Photo of the YEAR contest.
Post by: robb92 on January 03, 2009, 01:28:55 AM: A hard choice to make, took a while and made my choice. Good luck to those who were picked.
Title: Re: 2008 Huntwa Photo of the YEAR contest.
Post by: billythekidrock on January 03, 2009, 01:20:42 PM: Thanks to Chris Meyer of Titan Outdoors a great package will go to the winner of the “Photo of the Year” contest.

Post by: edmondshunter on January 04, 2009, 03:31:28 PM: Javman all the way, I love that velvet rack and the sort-a tunnel vision view.

MRay got my 2nd. That pic has amazing clarity and what a fish.

all very very good pics guys.

Title: Re: 2008 Huntwa Photo of the YEAR contest.
Post by: Huntbear on January 06, 2009, 06:15:41 PM: I have to agree with Pope. Javman's bull is what Washington is all about. A wet, mossy country with a nice Rosie bull, looking back at ya through the brush. He got my vote, even though all the photos were awesome, and would make great winners.

Sorry....just couldnt vote for anything that had an animal in it after the whooping I took this last year. :chuckle: Besides, I really like 509er's shot there...
Title: Re: 2008 Huntwa Photo of the YEAR contest.
Post by: javman on January 25, 2009, 11:00:12 PM: Tough, tough choice.

Lemondog: Great shot. This is what all field photos should look like! No blood, no tongue hanging out, great shot of the background, a happy hunter and no "long-arming" ;)

509er: Don't know if it was sunrise or sunset, but that's what hunting is all about. Getting up before the sun rises, and staying out until it sets.

Duckfever: Great shot of bone with the scenery included.

Mray: I'm not much of a fisherman, but it's an interesting angle. I like the fact that the spinner is in the picture and it's more about the fish than the fisherman.

Timber: Now that's a photo with SHARPNESS. Love the colors.

Hunting Cowboy: Cool shot and I like the framing. I'd like to watch the sunset from that vantage point every day.

Pope: I love the Washington coast. You got it all with the seastacks, sunset and reflections.

Me: I love big roosevelts and lush rainforests, but my vote went elsewhere! :)

Bowsandhose: *&!%# that's a monster, and a photo that does him justice. It belongs on a magazine cover -- but not one stating it was from Washington! :chuckle:

Bucksnort: Great shot of youth enjoying hunting. That's what the future of hunting depends on.

Alpinegus: Another great field photo! Those OIL hunts are the ones we all dream of, and your photo shows why!

Slider: I can't believe that was in Washington :drool: Guess I should leave the wet side on occasion. Unbelievable shot, and the contrast against the snow is perfect.

Great shots everyone! I can't wait to see them all next year.
