In Need of Reference Photos

[Savage Coyote]

Hey all, I'm a high school art teacher in the DFW area and one of the contests I run for my students is the NRA's George Montgomery/NRA Youth Wildlife Art Contest. The basic rules are you have to use a game animal from their list and create an art piece based on it. Unfortunately I don't have many photos of game animals. I mainly take pictures of non-game birds! I was wondering if anyone would like to donate some of their photos of game animals for my students to use as references? I just need high-res photos to help with the process. I can't promise that the students will sell the piece or not, as they tend to get attached to their work!

I have included the two pieces that qualified for Honorable Mention last year. Both girls were Freshmen and are very talented!

I have a pretty cool (I think) shot that I will send later when I'm on my home computer.

That pronghorn running just speaks to me. Never wanted to hunt one before, but now I do.

Haha, funny!

These are much appreciated gentlemen. Thank you for your help! The students who I've shared the photos with have all said they are great!

I was going to post mine, until I saw some of the above. You won't find any better than those.

There is a photography forum here, you may look through some of those?

Not to resurect an old thread, but I thought I'd share one of my students NRA Wildlife Art Contest entries. Unfortunatlly she completed this over the weekend and rushed a little. It's a 8.5x11 watercolor using one of AtTheWall's photos for reference! Titled "Monarch of the Forest"

I have to agree. That's great.
