[QUOTE="Sniper John, post: 1323632, member: 8580"] I do have an appreciation for good pictures both taken by others and taken by me to share. Nothing wrong with sticking that tongue in or turning the animal so the blood or gore is not visible. The picture just looks more professional that way. Rather than the bloody hole or the hanging tongue being the centery focus of the picture or what the eye is first drawn to, I prefer the draw the story of the picture to be the animal itself or the hunter, or the hunt itself. I do understand some wanting to spite the squeemish and anti hunters with a gory pic for some personal satisfaction or to make a statement and I am ok with that, but I try to have my pictures tell a different story. One that shows a respect for the animal for example. I prefer a picture my son could take to share with his class or that I could share with my non hunting (not anti hunting) family members. Just another tip. Most any photo software, even the free ones have a touchup or cut and past feature that you can use to fix a picture after the fact. Or sometimes just cropping the picture can remove something you did not want in the picture like a gut pile, or a road in the background, etc. This Bobcat I shot with a 300 Weatherby. The side of the cat showing had a large bloody exit wound. It would have been the center focus of the picture and would have become the main subject of the picture if it remained. Using a free Kodak photo software I cropped part of the cat's coat in a clean spot, saved it, then pasted it around over the damage. You can no longer tell there is a giant gaping gut hanging hole there and made for a much better pic that I can now share with anyone IMHO. [attach=full]80300[/attach] This picture had a wild turkey whisky bottle and if I remember some beer cans on the table behind the ducks. It would have been fine for posting on a forum, but it was not the message of hunting I wanted to present to my young son when I showed him the pictures. Using the free Picasa photo editing software, I made them go away with the touchup feature it has. Both pictures took no more than a couple minutes to edit. [attach=full]80301[/attach] [/QUOTE]
