Another lovely shot Alex, I like to watch a photographer working the same subject matter from different perspectives, and this is a great addition to your impressive Richmond Park series. Congratulations on your impressive placement in this competition, but even more so on the series.

Just so wonderful. Your use of negative space is outstanding.

Ohhhhh Alex! You are KILLING me! I can't imagine thinking a photo is more cool than this!

Alex, congrats on a great finish with a stunning picture. I would have been tempted to go with a tighter crop but the wide perspective conveys the "togetherness in isolation" beautifully. Great job!!
Post actions
Really beautiful congrats on your top ten finish.

Ha, they're trapped inside the matrix! ;-)

Well done Alex - very pretty image.

8 - Beautiful, hope you have a wall sized. I think a crop / framing variation would have packed more punch, but your call of course.

Sooooooo sweet. I've never seen a bunch of them huddle like this.

This would be great as a greeting card with text to fill the negative space. I love the little family.

Interesting use of negative space. Maybe just a little too much of it.

remember this shot but don't remember the author. fantastic shot, regardless!

Very, very, very nice :0)

What a lovely little family! I like that they're all looking in slightly different directions.
Post actions
Ohhh - I REALLY like this!! Great composition and use of negative space.
Post actions
This may very well be my favorite shot of the bunch. I absolutely love it!
Post actions
I can't start to explain how this photo appeals to me...the fact that it's not white, but "dirty" white is so much more effective, in my opinion.
Post actions
The empty space works well here.
Post actions
Ha, I love the isolation and they way they are all huddled together looking different directions. You can just see the conversion, "Ingrid, it all looks the same to me, are you sure we're going the right way?".
Post actions
Good Shot! I would say just zoom in a little closer. If you were limited with the equipment, then I say this is awesome!
Post actions
What an awesome composition! That is a tight knit family.
Post actions
You did an excellent job with the presentation of the subject against the stark background.
Post actions
Awesome! Love the positioning of the ears and eyes to cover all angles of escape

Great use of space! You can just imagine them saying "go ask for directions, you know you're lost"

Talk about negative space! This is really great.

Love the bleakness in this image, suits the subject well. Congrats!

I cannot stop wondering if i could cease to be impressed and awed at the pics that appear on screen. Some spectacular images but this IS in a class of its own...10 the less I say the better. People should not know Im a softy

Great idea. I would have used a little less negative space, though. 7

great minimalism...I love it! 7

Great placement of the deer. I like how three are looking in your general direction and one is looking off to the side.
Post actions
How fun!! I assume that you're getting hit for the white background and all the negative space, but that's why I love it! I would have liked it with a tad less negative space, however, because they look so interesting, and I wish I could see them better. (here's for 1600 pixel challenges!!)

this is absolutely stunning...wow...wow...wow

Nice grouping of the deer. Might be nice to see them a little bigger though.

cute subjects. Super high key is a bit much for me here. Would have liked to see a bit more of their surroundings.

My choice for the blue ribbon!!

I love this - the empty space and the positioning - I just wish they were maybe half again as large.
Post actions
Understated and powerful. Really nice.

brilliant negative space shot !! 8

Together against the elements - what a stunningly minimal nature shot. Great capture of this family of deer huddled together for warmth against the chill of the blanket of snow. I don't know if others are judging it harshly because of the amount of negative/white space but I think it works beautifully to capture the mood and feel of the moment. As I mentioned, the eye immediately drawn to the deer family in their struggle to keep warm in the great white wilderness. Love this - 9
