Well, there are definately seven deer in the photo. The deer are hard to see and not very clear at all, but upon close inspection, they are definately there. I'm not sure why all the trees are leaning to the right, but I find that a bit distracting. there isn't really much color in the photo, so it's a bit dullish looking. I'm not personally drawn into the photo, but it is good for the challenge. ~Heather~
Nice capture. I like the look of the does and the head turning of the buck. I may have cropped out a 1/3 or so of the grass. Good luck on this 7 pointer...
The deers did exactly what they are supposed to do in real life: blend with the background. They are barely perceptible because it's brown on brown. And they're too small. You might have waited for them to be in a more compact constellation, which would have allowed a tighter crop and thus, larger animals. A more narrow DOF might have helped as well.
