He might just be having lunch but he's beautifully majestic. Really good pose you've caught him at, I like that the 2 trees sort of frame him.

I like this alot. The white spots (sky) showing through the leaves are a bit of a distraction.

Wow! It must have taken a while to stalk this one out Γ’€“ great shot and wish you luck! Only comment Γ’€“ there appears to be a slight blue tint Γ’€“ or maybe itΓ’€™s time to calibrate my monitor again :D

What a fabulous capture, perfectly exposed, spot-on focus, and of course tremendous color.

Nice image. The colorful leaves are a nice back drop for the Buck.

Mmm, twigs! Nicely framed by the trees. The deer would stand out just a bit better with a white balance adjustment to make him browner, some blurring of the biger black branches just OOF behind him and some dodging on the antlers IMO.

Great shot, beautiful color. I might've tried cropping more to minimize tree trunks.

Great shot! Since the advance editing would have allowed for it, I would have applied some more lens blur to the background

Great use of color and natural framing! And a very pretty animal.

Superb framing, and the autumn foliage acts as the perfect foil to the deer. The low viewpoint provides the viewer with an intimate viewpoint.
