I really didn't want ot enter this challenge but have to becuase of LOD. I wholely expect this to finish poorly. I think it's a cool photo but nothing I would enter in a challenge on normal circumstances. I wish the burst would have allowed more space between the deer, the sequence looks like the deer has his head in his butt,lol. Oh well, i can only hope with as difficult as this challenge is that my opponent had as difficult time as I did.

I am astonished at the score on this. I expected it to ribbon. I can't believe some of these comments saying things like the woods are too busy and they can't see the deer's face, and that the deer is blended with the brush. I guess these people have never seen a deer in the wild or know anything about natural camouflage.
Love the way the deer is almost disguised against the undergrowth, contrasting with the deep red colours of the leaves on the trees. Very impressive the way the deers head isn't blocked by the two entwined branches.Lovely picture. :)
i love the colours of the top half of the photo, especially the leaves. the grassess seem a little too bright and don't provide good contrast to see the buck as well as it might have. great work on the transition of the time lapse.
Other similar techniques have been rather unnatural and are obviously multiple captures where as this could be a single image. Therefore it meets and challange in a rathr subtle special way. Great colours - well done
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Ho difficult this merge must have been, and how well you did it! I love the scene, the colors, and the action. This would make a great jigsaw puzzle. 10
Don't suppose you get to tell the deer to wait while you find the best angle to shoot from, but it's pretty hard to see the deer here due to all the foreground obstruction.
