Those are very nice, NW...I'd love to see the bottom three carvings in one a lot closer up .

Thanks. Sharon I'm a work in progress with posting pics. Seems I can post one but not the others.

Very nice. Really like the dimension you achieved in the angle of the moose head and his antlers. You showed his webbing tines well, in front of the shovels.

The mountains behind are just what I was trying to describe earlier. Showing nicely behind the subject, a wee bit on the sides but not so much that the landscape takes up all the room , leaving little detail in close up of the animal. I like the three in one collage'.

I'd like to take credit but I only hunted it. Lol. My 80 year young friend carved it.

Oh ok, well , still very well done regardless.

I know a few trappers here who love to collect nice art. Makes sense too. Trappers being foremost in appreciating details in nature.

Great way to honor a animals life by displaying it imo. Wish I could get this picture up loading figured out. Had a carving done for my employer of cat and excavator working. The detail is second to none. Right down to the dozer operators hat brim and segment bolts. I've also got a great horned owl, lynx and ruffled grouse, silver fox and 160" white tail I'd like to share but for some reason I can't get them to load.

Well if the resolution of your shots are too big for here, youll need to downsize them. In each of your pics when you get them on your computer screen, clicking on the file , usually at the top of your computer screen, gives you edit options. Mine , on my Mac, has options right above every pic to edit. Search around, and you should see an option already in your program that allows you to make photos smaller. Once you figure that, you'll be fine.

Ok ladies and gentlemen what am I doing wrong with posting pics?
In the toolbar there's a orange button I click on that takes me to a page that says choose file. I do that and get into my picture gallery. After choosing my picture there's a button that says I'm done. I've clicked on that and nothing happens except it kind of resets itself and my file is gone. What am I screwing up? Using a android phone if that matters.
