Got it to work - this is the pose I'm talking about.

One of my favorite threads of the year! Hey Matt how's it goin bud!? Since I started taking quality pictures in the field (and I owe it toMatt)I've had many people, hunters and non-hunters say "wow that's agreat photo" and then it spans from "I need to try to get better pictures taken." to "You know, you look really proud in that pic and the animal is still beautifull." I'd like to highlight the point of whatMatt said about taking lots of pics. Burnall the film you have. Hell, I'm notphotojenwhatever at all, soit takes a roll to get me to look good. I can't imagine how much film it would takeMatt.He hasn't figured that outyet himselfit seems![8D]You have a short window ofpicture time,make it count,go the extra mile, put in the time, it's worth it in the end. Cuzonceit's gone, even if it'son the wall in six months, it's still gone!Trust me!

Here's a real quality picture I borrowed with the permission of the lucky hunter's father.
This is Jason and his very first bowkill (Age 8).

Have you ever seen a happier kid in your life?

Here's one where its hard to see who's smiling more!

Here is a photo of LTE 622. I thought he did a great job with his picture!

Great pic, Hughiam... and welcome to the boards!

Ok guys, here's a picture I wanted to post for you all to present the "other side" of the coin.
This is a picture I pulled of a local PA kid who shot this magnificent buck this past Saturday.

Anyone still doubt that there truly is a right and wrong way to take a quality hunting picture.[]

Magnificient animal, terrible terrible picture.

im going to have to say good animal too but what possesses (sp.) people to take pictures like that?????

at the least... tuck the tongue in and wash him up...
