Was going through photos from a few year back and was wondering if any of you skilled techy guys would be able to clean up this photo for me? Not sure why I left the bow in the background, and never noticed the tongue hanging out. Was wondering if these parts could be taken out?

John can probably do you a better job, but here's a try with the posted version. Took a little shadow off your face and removed some weeds too.

Forgot the grass in front of face. Also add a little warmth to grass, adjusted shadows, made face a little more see able

John, if I send you a pic, can you put a buck in it better than those that t-roy shot ? It’s the only way an ole Texas boy will ever best him ! ;-))

I was gonna see if John could put my face in front of Tony’s!! I always wanted to kill a big typical muley, plus I could lose a bunch of weight in the process!
Heck of a deer. Congrats, Tony!

Drycreek, I was consider hiring Jeff Gilooly to kneecap him just before the rut. Figured it was my only shot at besting him.

Don and Troy the problem with both of your requests is I got to look at picture when editing it and I don't think I could handle starring at either or your mugs. ;)

Z I used Lightroom and photoshop. Lightroom to add some warm, reduce shadows, contrast, exposure and such. Photoshop for the tongue, and bow removal.

Thanks guys for the edits. Looks so much better. I carry a better camera these days and put in more effort, but that particular buck I was in a massive hurry. Was mid day, a 1.5 mile pack out, 6 hr drive, and a early day shift the next morning. He is still my best deer 191 inches. Would have been so close to 200 if he hadn't busted the beam
