A very curious buck who was watching me and one of my Irish Wolfhounds as we walked through the woods. He followed us for a little bit and was completely unconcerned by us and by the camera.
Liked this shot where he was nicely framed by the trees. He clearly belongs here, and is comfortable in the labyrinth of the shadowy woods.
PP - cropped, levels, slight vignette, dodged deer's head/antlers/eyes, cloned out bright spot behind him on the right, resized, sharpened, blurred a few noisy spots, added border.

Beautiful colors and you captured your subject with precision. I don't think I like the centered framing -- the right side and especially the top seem heavy.
stunning .. love the dark atmospheric feel .. also how the deer is looking straight at you .. its a brilliant image .. i'm not voting yet but wanted to comment . :)
