| Congratulations on your Top 10 placement. I actually thought the fox picture might be yours because of your recent ribbon winning cat picture which I loved! This wildlife photo of the deer is so outstanding...!!! Your contribution to this horse race made this challenge incredibly exciting to watch! I was very suprised this photo didn't make into the Top 3. |

| Congratulations on your placement! I thought that this one should have definitely ribboned though. I was sure that this was yours since the beautiful processing reminded me so much of your recent "Llama Llama" shot. Really excellent work on this! |

Most excellent composition, with the perfect crop and OOF background with that one dear to the right. I like the toning and darkened corners here too. The detail is a little short but the expression captured and the shot as a whole just rocks! 8)

| Really like the fading around the edges and the muted colours, they make the deer really stand out. The dof is amazing, it took me a minute to see the other deer but it helps to make this an outstanding entry. Good luck with this I am sure you will do very well! |

| This reminds me of a fav by yanko. Love that you can see the other deer in the background. They always have such cautious inquisitive expressions. I like the deepening of the shadow around the edge to pull the eye right to that sweet face. Bumping up. |

| Very nice. Was this done with HDR techniques? It almost looks as tho it was. The focus is centered right on the deer and her huge, dreamy eyes, and once your eyes wander to the background, they find interesting shapes back there too. Again, very nice and scoring high. Finished with a frame would score higher :) 9 |

When I started voting last night, this actually didn't show up at all. It's a good thing I reconsidered checking.
OH MY GOODNESS! This is one of the best capture of a deer that I have seen in my life. I hope to see this getting the BLUE RIBBON. Great texture on the deer, superb DOF but still managing to retain the details of the second deer on the right. Color treatment and lighting are also amazing. GREAT WORK! |
