Killdeer and Pat B., Is 8:00pm tomorrow good for you as a time to end the entries? We can each work up our score sheets and compare. If you'll send them to me I'll merge them and send back to you to make sure we are in agreement. Right now I see at least one good "5" and maybe more. There are a lot of "4"s.

Thought this was over, but since it isn't I took a couple of "at rest" pics...

Curt ,
 That one with your daughter releasing the arrow at that stump is really cool! Well all your pics with both kids are a "5" if ya ask me...I'm so happy I'm not the judge but Killy better think hard before she casts her vote! Guru maybe you better send her a bribe !  :D

Wow,I'm impressed with many of these photos. I just went through all of them again to rate them. I found at least 25 photos that I would rate as excellent. I have finished my list now so let's see what Killdeer and Pat B. come up with.

Curt, that was a real treat there at the end. Those kids of yours are very special.

As soon as I get lunch, walk the dog and get the computer fired up, I will be checking my list and making some very difficult choices.

I rated only one of them a "5" and 15 of them at 4.5 or better. If you will rate the top 5 and send to me, then I'll total them with mine. If there's any problem then we talk more about it.

I'm going to watch a socoer match but will be back later.

I had almost 30 finalists. Took me 5 hours, due to computer glitches, to wade through them, make choices, and email them to Don.

Whew!

Shou,

Great pic’s and make a mind wonder what the actual scene was like in the day of battle.
Everything I have and have become is due to the Lord and his great mercy.

Well, it's time we should make a decision now. These photos were so good that it made the judging very difficult. Each of the 3 judges (Killdeer, Pat B., and me) rated what each of us thought were the best five photos. After 1st and 2nd place there was no consensus on any other photo. Obviously we will just list all of these photos as tying for 3rd place. They will each be awarded an armguard or tab.

So here they are:

1st place is Ron LaClair with Larry Myers and a nice buck. Great photography.

2nd place is Guru with Cade in the 1st photo with a bullfrog on his arrow.

3rd place are, Arrowest with a nice buck, Prairie Drifter with bow quiver and arrows, Robtatto with a Wildabeast, Guru with kids in the woods, David Spears still life with a fireplace, bow quiver, and a cool drink, House with bow and tackle on rocks in the high mountains, Kip with a nice bear, Fritz with a nice buck, and Guru with Cade and two nice pheasants.

So there it is. 1st and 2nd place get an EFA quiver of their choice. Those tied for 3rd get their choice of an armguard, or tab. I'll wait for you to send a pm or email with your address.

This was a lot more work for Killdeer and Pat B. then they probably expected. Let's let them know that you appreciated what they did.

flytiger, great photos. That's an awesome setting. I wonder also what it would have been like there in a time of war.

Kenny, you were in my file of finalists.
It's all Don's fault.  
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.    ;)

I was going to say the one of Cade and the frog with the wet shirt was going to be tough to beat.

kbetts, that was my #1 choice.
  Lots of really great pics to go through but it just doesn't get boreing looking at pics like this.

  Don. thanks for considering me to help Killdeer and yourself judge these pics. It was my pleasure.
