"EPA" was a good entry into the Acronyms challenge. I think you did a good job starting with a acronym that most can recognize and understand.
This is a very nice photo, great timing catching the deer and bird in their natural environment. I think the composition is very nice, I might have tried to leave the very top of the tree on the right hand side. Also I think I might have tried to increase the contrast or balance a little to really draw out the elements in this great photo.
The focus looks very nice along with the lighting, you could have easily over blown the snow. Very good work!
Thanks for the nice comments. I think the horizon looks uneven because everythings on a slope, since this is the mountains. I made sure to rotate the image according to the house I cropped-out.
I love the bird flying toward the center of the photo and the deer running into it....very balancing. I also like the debth with the mountains in the background (although I would have like to been able to see more of them. Great tie in to the title too. Very well done.
