Post by: boneaddict on December 30, 2007, 10:50:34 AM: Hunting/Washington.com
PHOTO OF THE MONTH CONTEST January 2008
Please enter your favorite photo into our photo of the month contest.

-The photo must have been taken by the entrant within the last 12 months.
(exception to the rule for field photos of the entrant themselves.)
- The photo must pertain to hunting or fishing or the outdoors in some fashion.
-Photo size MUST be 800x600 pixels or LESS
-2 entries per contestant are allowed per month.
-Entries must be submitted by midnite of the 27th of the current month(January) in order to qualify for that Months contest.
-Photos of Washington material will receive preference in judging as the winner will be posted on the front of a Washington site.
-Previous entries will not be eligible for future photo of the month contests.
-The winner of the previous months contest is not eligible for the next months contest. (December's winner cannot win in January)
-Entries will be accepted or rejected as is, meaning the judges will no longer enhance, or alter images.

The photos will be evaluated by a panel of Judges made up of Boneaddict, Jackelope, Billy the Kid Rock, Huntwa, Shadow cat and Sisu. The winner (NO TIES) will be announced as soon as we come to a majority decision.

(huntwa said I could play if I give up my vote...I don't know, I'm having lots of fun judgeing these great photos.)

The Winner will have their photo posted on the front page and get a free patch.

Make sure you take a gander at the Photo of the Year contest in the polls board, as soon as I get it up and running.

Yes, there have been a few great pics (potential winners) that were not considered because of the file size.

I would hate to find out there are great pics out there but they are not being posted because people dont know how to resize them, get them over here if thats the case. huntnphool@aol.com

The pictures are of me, Josh was a great hunting partner for the last two years, he will surely be missed while he is in the Airforce. Here is a picture from outside the blind, (My monthly entry) the blind is over my shoulder on the left the little bump just out from the trees. 384 yard shot.

Post by: Coasthunterjay on January 17, 2008, 07:03:03 AM: i appoligies for the darkness in the picture. I had to make a photo copy of the original which is hanging on my fridge. lots of good pictures on the fridge but takes to long to copy and then post them......Thanks again, i really liked the picture to.....And that was an awesome hunt. I was out taking pictures with my canon rebel(35mm) and i came up to this field that had this bull and two other fighting in a flooded over field. they both were about a foot in the water and FIGHTING to the death. From about 400 yrds i could see blood and water thrashing everywhere. and then out of no where i see a group of three guys lying down in the water, on there bellies hand over hand getting closer to these guys, watched them set up about 200 yrds away from these bulls, and drop both in two timed shots. way awesome. this first bull dropped right where he was and the second bull ran off into the near by woods and then died somewhere. took a while to find him...........Ended up getting alot of great pictures that day...i might post more of the fight if i can get them copied and loaded.....

This day was full of excitement.........good memories!!!

Post by: boneaddict on January 28, 2008, 04:34:33 PM: CONGRATULATIONS LEMONDOG for your great field photo. It won enough votes from the judges to take the photo of the month for January. Tightest contest so far.

Coon- great photos, but if you indeed want to be part of the contest, you can only enter two or you are disqualified. I appreciate you sharing them, but you may want to do that in the regualr forum. SA in the middle of your photo doesn't help your chances either just as a side note.

ITS NOT TOO LATE to vote for the phot of the year. Thanks to everyone who participated. Keep an eye out for future contests. We are going to be adding some things and changing things a bit. Again, congrats Lemondog.
Title: Re: JANUARY 2008 Photo of the Month Contest
Post by: popeshawnpaul on January 28, 2008, 04:44:56 PM: Wow, this is the second month in a row I agree with the winner...

Good job Lemondog. This photo has everything in my opinion. Great subject, large deer, washington animal, great composition, perfect exposure, and amazing background. Nice clean photo.
