Wow, this is very pretty! The colors are just awesome. The composition is very serene - it looks so nice that I wonder if you didn't ask the deer to pose nicely for you ;-D I love the flowers, the shadows around the bottom, and how the deer seems to look right at the viewer. The almost-gradient from lighter colors at the top to darker at the bottom makes for an exquisite effect.
As others have said, this looks like a painting. Personally I find that wonderful to look at. From a photographic standpoint, however, it doesn't seem as "alive" as I would expect a photo to be. It seems very flat and noisy. The commenters, and myself, like the effect but I would imagine that other people might not, which probably did hurt your score.
All in all, congrats on such a GORGEOUS shot!! You might have some luck selling this as a print because it truly is lovely.
Ummm, are you sure you didn't just take a picture of the painting hanging on your wall? This is just fabulous! Perhaps a few too many jpeg artifacts, but the composition and color is superb.
What a wonderful surprise and way to start the day!
She looks as surprised as you probably were.
A "deer" in the morning or a "dear" in the morning keeps you smiling all day!
You either had a very tame deer or were incredibly quick off the mark to take this one! It is beautiful and I particularly like the meadow flowers to add further interest.
perhaps isn't perfect, there is noise on the image (perhaps for the crop or for the underexposition or other reason) but this image seems a painting. It's a beautiful image now I rate it 9 but I come back in the second moment.
don't know what it is that make's it look more like a painting then a photograph... I'm sure it's the fog, still there's something that just doesn't do it for me for a nature photograph...
