Can you give some more hints/tricks? Like how you made the picture brighter etc.
Now on a humorous note, maybe you could "photoshop" about 3 arrows back into the quiver on the goat picture? That might eliminate some of the blood too?
I use a cheap version of Photo Shop and what little I have learned I have learned by doing. So if I can do it, I know anyone out there can do it, especially if you would take a class or are willing to read rather than do the trial and error method as I have. Since I was a young kid I have had a learning disability and learn best by just doing it. I just hate reading and it's been a life long curse.
Don, making a picture brighter is probably one of the easiest things to do. Most programs have a lightening option and merely with the click of the mouse you can lighten them. I am sure there are a lot of guys who visit the Bowsite who are much better at this than I am, and who know the proper ways to do what I probably do through the back door.
I have quite a few people send me pictures to do, as I quite enjoy the challenge of make a picture look presentable. I do not however like to change the photo so much that it doesn't even look like the same picture, and many times one has to do that to make it look decent. Like I said, that is no fun and can be avoided if one will just take a small bit of time and do the prep work I mentioned above.
Here's a picture, a Bowsiter sent me today, that I did for him of his antelope.
Remember, take the time and do a few minutes work before you take your photos, as in the end, it takes much less time to do it right than it does to try and fix it and you will end up with a better product in the end.

Some photos will suprise you how great they look in black and white. Sometimes a so and so colored photo becomes outstanding in b&w.

Above are three friends with a 2007 Utah muley. The photo above is un edited. That's just the way it looked when it came out of the camera.
Notice, we cleaned up the area a bit. We tried to remove all the grass etc. that would be in the way (and there was plenty), we cut out the deer's tongue and tried to clean up most of the bad blood. Although there was a small amount of blood on off side front leg, I didn't worry about that and won't in editing as its pretty subtle.
I will now edit the photo and show you how it looks when I edit it. (My next Post)
I took the red and flash out of the guys and the deer's eyes.
I lightened the photo a bit.
There was a bright piece of grass near the deers front leg that I thought detracted from the photo, so I cloned a bit of grass in its place.
I took off the eye glass glare a bit from Gary's glasses in his right lens.
I cropped the photo for a 4x6 print.
It took me less time to edit the photo than to write this post. That is not the case if you don't do the prep work first.

PS It's much easier to take a good photo than fix a bad one. And the end result is much better.
This happened to be one of the poorer photos we took that evening, but once you do the orginal set up and prep, it goes to work for you on every photo you take.

Here's an example to which I speak.
Take some great pictures and have a great bowhunt. BB
On the first muley picture you posted was the flash used at all? I know I've gotten to where I pretty much always use the flash just in case.
