Snow & Ice? Whose big idea was it to leave Mexico?

A rather sweet photograph. I like the understated feel, both in composition and colour palette.

Mother Killdeer ~ Protector

A close photo of this plover - possibly a bit too close! A lower perspective, from lying on the ground would make for a stronger photo, I believe, but you have captured some of the bird's natural behaviour, although a slightly wider shot would have allowed a bit more of the habitat to be included.

New Growth

Look at those eye-lashes! The new growth does look very strange - I don't think I have ever seen antler growth at this stage before, so an extra mark for that :) I am intrigued how you were able to get a photo at such apparantly close quarters. Deer here in England are notoriously hard to photograph as they are so flighty and timid. I would maybe prefer a little more inclusion of environment.

Not enough detail for me, but the tones are pleasing.

The Old Soldier

Not very keen on your non-traditional processing. The eye is bright, but contrast negligible for the rest of the heron, meaning much of the detail is lost.

Tule Elk

Comment:
An interesting photo of an animal I have only seen on nature documentaries. The composition is good, and the wild flowers in the meadow add a sense of place and add appeal. The pose of the elk works well, and shows its flightiness, muscles tensed ready to go. On my screen it does look over-sharpened, and the exposure of the elk is on the dark side, but over-all I do like this photo.

Pretty, although I do get a slightly tilted feel.

Super balance to this composition.

Red Fox

Stunning. Foxes, at least here in the UK, are notoriously shy (until they smell the chicken shed) and whilst I have come across them when walking, I have never been able to get a photograph. Were you in a hide here? A really lovely photograph that has a delightful intimacy to it.

At least you aren't trying to pretend this is something it isn't! A pretty amazing floral display, although it does look like a strong wind would topple it over. Gave me a smile.
