Composition: Subject Placement, Cropping, Background9, Technical: Focus, Exposure, Lighting, Processing9, Appeal: Is it Interesting, Motivating, Etc.? 2, Total Averaged Rating7. Autool I think you are stretching the topic here, but a nice photo.
first reaction -- hm. i really didn't think sin applied to animals... but that's just me. challenge -- met technical -- the bull and the cow's face are too dark. maybe try and increase the gamma in your photo editing software (if your software allows that). i just increased it to 1.62 and i could see some more details. composition -- love how the elk cow is looking into the camera :) i wonder what a shallower DOF would've done to blur the background, but - if you are like me in these situations - you just fire on auto settings to make sure you get the shots :) overall -- 5 from gr8photos
Animal lust, it works for me. Very good shot! How did you get so close? (Are you in Alaska or BC? you don't have to answer that, I can wait) If I had any kind of complaint, it would be nice to have the sun on their flanks, but asking them to "pose" would be silly (I know, people have asked me for that!) 9 Swash
It feels a bit 'sqinty'. Try using a polarising filter. Also, the stags horns are lost against the brushwood. Try hiding somewhere where the background is a bit nicer.
Funny idea. Unfortunatly, it doesn't cut it for me... Tehnically very well done though, but the lack of direct relation to the theme lowers the score on this one for me. 5
