Great Pic Red!

That smile tells me you are a winner already, even if Lil'Red doesn't have an off button. ;D

I'm sure you guys weren't looking for a bunch of kids photos for this, but this is the one that came to mind when I read the first post.

If you are willing to accept digitally manipulated images I'll add two more fun ones.

I will accept "digitally manipulated" photos since many times modifications are hard to spot anyways. You are only allowed to submit 1.... so pick your best one and 2 have to go. Sorry.... Without rules there's Chaos.

.dsaavedra. reply :

did the rules ever say that it had to be our own photo? i am assuming this is the case but figured i'd ask for clarification.

anyway here's my submission:

There's always one that needs to be difficult. J/K. Yes needs to be your own photo... Meaning no one else owns the copyright to it. Cool photo by the way. -Jim

Man, all these pictures are great and really invoke some emotion, but this picture really says a lot. That child will always remember the moment he held a "monster bass" and that innocent smile is what we all experience everytime we are out on the water. Even though I am not a voter in who wins, I really think this one is tough to beat.

Did you go swimming to get that pic? ;D

Jim Grouch reply :

Wonderful pictures everyone. You are going to make it very difficult for me to pick the finalists. I may have to have to have everyone vote on more than just 3 pics because I am going to have a heck of a time deciding. Only 5 days left to submit a picture so if you don't have one yet there is still time. Grab your camera and head to the lake when you get time. There may be a Curado with your name on it.

A-Jay reply :

What a Great shot ! - This photo gets my vote and is one of the Best moments ever captured and shared here on BR - great job kms399

Two quotes by one of my favorite photographers:

"To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event. "

"There is nothing in this world that does not have a decisive moment"

-Henri Cartier-Bresson

He'd have liked that picture too.

Smiths.R reply :

Francho, that picture is liquid gold.

May seem like a silly question, but I'm having a problem getting my picture small enough to upload, yet still 800 x 600. I'm using irfan view...any hints?

Thanks

SGT Rico reply :

All of these picture are just breathtaking!!!!

Ugh! Firggin' IrfanView, LOL. Register an account with photobucket, upload the full resolution file there, and pick a size to link to. There will be ready made img links for forums.

Vote here?
If so, #1.

There is poll added to the top of the page above the first post. That is where your vote will need to go. Thanks! -Jim

J Francho reply :

Wow, I'm honored to have made the cut. If I win, I pledge that the reel will be donated to HeroesOnTheWater.org, an organization that I support, and urge anyone to take a long hard look at if interested in a truly worthwhile charity.

Also, please subtract one vote from the final tally of my own submission. Curiosity of the standings got the better of me, and voted for myself to see the results, LOL. If I was a cat, I'd be dead.

Congrats to the winner:

Here's one from last week not in the contest.

J Francho reply :

George, that is a beautiful shot. I've been trying for years to get a shot of a smallie in flight (that's a LMB, right?). I've gotten close, but nothing as nice as that!

1inStripes reply :

That is nice George.
