I remember liking this photo a lot when it appeared in the camouflage challenge last November. Still like it very much. And I love to be the first to choose it as a favorite.

Great Picture, I wish I had seen something like that too...but there would have been no camera involved

congratulations on the placing... this was one of my 10's and i think it really deserves top honors. You did a fabulous job!

Just beautiful picture and perfect for the theme. Nothing is as efficient as nature camouflage and you caught it. BRAVO.

I would prefer this one without the tree trunks but nevertheless it works really well. Great colours, the soft lighting helps a lot and the low viewpoint connects us so well with the stag. 9.

Nicely done. Excellent DOF and the muted background. Might have cropped just little more left.

nice shot. very good, i really like the way you took this and the color of the leafs in front.

I started taking photos to try and catch something like this! Nice job!

What I appreciate about this is how the antlers and trees mimic each other in form. I'm about 3/4 through this thing and it's the best above-water wildlife photo I've seen so far in this challenge.

Cool, really love the DOF, this must have been shot with a monster of a lens. 8 from me.
Post actions
8 - Excellent colors and capture. Criticism; maybe just a fraction less of the fore 'blur', even though it does add to the shot, not sure. Perhaps more crop off the top too, making the stag(?) 'feature' more, don't know. Good with the limbs/trunks/branches in the background behind it's antlers, very good meet of the Challenge.

Very nice composition and bokeh.

wow this is beautiful, the way you blended the backround makes the deer stand out.10

Oh wow. Nice colors and excellent dof.
Post actions
Very nice. The antlers almost blend in with the trees. I really like the brown/orange against the green of the trees.
Post actions
Greater DOF would have helped this a lot. Beautiful shot.

Very crisp and vivid photo. Perfect DOF. Good job!
Post actions
Great DOF. Seems slightly tilted - I'd straighten it ever so slightly. Maybe crop down about 2 inches off of the top as well, then you really focus on the buck.

Natural camouflage in a natural setting

Wow, fantastic picture, beautifully framed. The Red/brown of the deer really matches the underbrush and the antlers really do resemble the trees in the background. 10 out of 10 all the way..

Nicely done, great DOF and great positioning against background, saw that before I read the title.
