A deer caught looking towards the camera along the bikepath... cropped, cloned out a distracting log, as well as burrs that were all over the fur coat, adjusted yellow, green, and red channels, adjusted contrast, USM, used blur tool around the edges to focus eye on the deer... and to hide my lousy cloning job:)

This looks artificially blurred. The grass under the branch on the right should be sharper. I'm not against ps enhancements but I do find them more pleasant if done in a less heavy handed manner.
nice shot - especially as it's looking towards the camera, but I feel the image has been editted too much. Can't understand how the grass goes so suddenly from in focus to blurry. Or were you looking throught cracked glass? I had assumed it was leaves making the frame.
