Beautiful pastels and lovely pose by the subject. Like the first time I saw this I wished there was some way to deal with the object in the left foreground. But the rest is so fine it hardly detracts. Is this
kuku?
Another awesome shot from you as you are the master of these wonderful deer images.....The light is breathtaking, and you have capture a picture of pure beauty.
Bumping up to a "10" from me.....
extraordinary! a marvelous capture. hope you enter this in some nature mag contests, as i know it will do well. and i hope it isn't overlooked in this monster-sized challenge.
I've seen this shot before on the forums though I can't remember who it was who put it up there. I thought it was a superb shot then and still do. A great find. 10
Congrats on a wonderful capture. I forget which challenge it was that you should have entered this, but I'm glad you finally got the chance and you are rightfully rewarded.
Awwwwwwwww! This is adorable and beautiful. What a nice capture. The focus is fabulous with that perfect DOF. I hope this does well. Making it a favorite.
Lovely sharpness, I love those hairs along it's neck/ body. Fantastic composition. Excellent DOF - love the softness of the background against the sharpness of the foreground. Oh and colours too - the foreground ones are just perfect over the background ones. An absolutely wonderful wildlife shot.
I wonder what lens and at what focal lenght this was shot at. Sometimes extreme focal lenghts compress the scene so much that it creates a kind of macro effect. Like this deer almost looks four times the size of grass.... Well, that's just my mind playing tricks with me.
Cool shot, perfect isolation, colors work good together and the lack of (over)saturation is a bonus.
You get my vote for best Animal shot. I like this picture alot. The reason, the scale. The thing just seems microsopic for some reason. Not sure if that was the intention, but it just works! One of my highest rated in this challenge.
great photo, overblown highlights are smaller distraction then frame which i consider not needed at all, in case of this photo it only distracts from the subject with it's wideness and color scheme ... without frame i would give this 9, now 7
Wow. This is a really cool shot. Love the depth of feel as well as the intent look on the deer's face. Nice focus as well on the subject and good composition (8)
Beautiful DOF and sharpness. I like the composition very much. I think more contrast, specifically bringing down the midtones in curves, would really make this image pop. It seems just a little bit flat in the midtones.
SWEET SWEET. I remember this from earlier in the year but I can't recall the photog. Awesome capture. Not positive about the aqua band in the frame, but no points deducted for that.
