This is how I look at images that are in the contest. I ask myself, would I like that photo hanging on my wall.

LOL! That's no fair!!!!! Clearly the best photo in the lot is Flybob and his twin. But, other than Mrs. Flybob & a few dissident bait slingers, would anyone really want to have that staring you down from the wall..... :o

Interesting that there are 60+ views and only 9 votes :oo: I guess it's tougher to click on the mouse button than it is for me to decide who wins... To vote for ones favorite image click on that small dot next to the corresponding number for the image that you like :lol:

I casted my vote for "TWINS" only because it is a good picture and I am shocked flybob caught a fish that has a bigger mouth than his own, which is a compliment. Not voting on Justin and Bruce only because Justin already won a fly box and I'm jealous. But if by chance #10 wins for the LK Bow does Craig have to split to box because my hand is in the photo? "Spring" is great and "Locals Only" along with the rest but my vote stands "Twins" has to win!
Man this Trader Joe's beer sure tastes great and it's priced right!

Hey! the month is not over yet!

I still have this weekend to get my submission in!

I have so much good stuff, it is hard to decide which one! :oops:

DOH! :doh:

in that case, I voted for Brown Trout, because I had one just like it on the last contest and it did not win!

And FWIW, Mrs. Flybob would be most annoyed to see "Twins" looking down on her everyday.....she already has to put up with the real thing, and when I am work, it is the only break she gets! :shock:

All good pictures, all with a story behind them, all with good reasons to vote for them. I voted for the one that I would most like to have hanging over my desk that I would look at and enjoy day after day for years. It may not be the best picture from a technical standpoint, but this is a fishing forum, not a photography site - so I chose the picture that for me best evoked the spirit of fly fishing in all of its facets.

That said, I have to say that I did not choose the picture of Bob and the bass. Bob, you know I love you, but I'm sorry, that picture just spooks me. I can almost picture myself late some night, perhaps deep into a bottle of Maker's Mark. Everyone is in bed and I'm trying to finish tying some flies for an upcoming trip when I hear something. Blearily looking up from the tying desk thinking that my wife may have called to me I ask, "Did you say something?" Then from the general direction of the Bob & bass picture comes a reply... Which one of them spoke, I'm afraid to say. I bolt from the room (taking the Maker's with me). Shudder. I think I've seen that Soprano's episode too many times. Image

Some nice photos, but one certainly stuck out, for me, as the one I'd like hanging on my wall. However, one of those did look like one of those "Demotivational Posters" you see once in a while. :lol:
