ya know, it doesn't actually say in the challenge despcription that the animal must be in the shot. the deer that left this print is living wild, in the woods. so there! ;-P
For the purpose of this challenge, "wildlife" should be considered non-domesticated mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians living in a natural environment. Now that you know what to photograph, take your best shot!

excellent and a very clever idea! I love the title, too.
this is so narrow-minded and ridiculous not to see it as wildlife. this is sad, but it's great you entered it anyway!!
This is a very interesting shot. What I like most is the effect that the processing has on the surrounding snow. I don't know if the lighting is from the processing or natural but I like the way it tightly surrounds the foot print.
Hmmm, I thought this was a very interesting entry and scored it accordingly. I especially liked the OOB entries in this challenge, and thought you did particularly well with the cool processing. I also kind of think the track has an anthropomorphic look to it - almost like a face grinning back at you.
I am shocked that this ended up where it did. Please don't be discouraged by how narrow minded a lot of the voters here can be! This really is a good photograph, and IMHO fits the challenge very well.
Hmm... seemed quite obvious to me it was a deer track, and that assumption was confirmed by your title. So I'm not gettin' that folks didn't get what it was, but that's neither here nor there. I did suspect this might be yours - I think I'm beginning to recognize your processing, which, as always, is excellent.
Being very strict here, challenge did call for animals in natural environments, not just tracks. Excellent photo apart from that, love the colour and the clarity. Sorry, 6.
