many many many multiply layers

ya know, it doesn't actually say in the challenge despcription that the animal must be in the shot. the deer that left this print is living wild, in the woods. so there! ;-P

For the purpose of this challenge, "wildlife" should be considered non-domesticated mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians living in a natural environment. Now that you know what to photograph, take your best shot!

Sheesh. This is a great interpretation. In a sense, it's a perfect abstract, in the sense of abstracting the essence of something.

excellent and a very clever idea! I love the title, too.
this is so narrow-minded and ridiculous not to see it as wildlife. this is sad, but it's great you entered it anyway!!

Haha! Lovely off-the-reservation take on the topic!

A deer? I thought it was BigFoot or the Jersey Devil! Aren't the comments fun when voters are confused?

This is a very interesting shot. What I like most is the effect that the processing has on the surrounding snow. I don't know if the lighting is from the processing or natural but I like the way it tightly surrounds the foot print.

Yeah. Personally I think it's a well-toned and detailed shot, but you were always going to get killed by the strict DNMC crowd. Shame.

Hmmm, I thought this was a very interesting entry and scored it accordingly. I especially liked the OOB entries in this challenge, and thought you did particularly well with the cool processing. I also kind of think the track has an anthropomorphic look to it - almost like a face grinning back at you.

I am shocked that this ended up where it did. Please don't be discouraged by how narrow minded a lot of the voters here can be! This really is a good photograph, and IMHO fits the challenge very well.

Hmm... seemed quite obvious to me it was a deer track, and that assumption was confirmed by your title. So I'm not gettin' that folks didn't get what it was, but that's neither here nor there. I did suspect this might be yours - I think I'm beginning to recognize your processing, which, as always, is excellent.

What is it? I don't get it. Nice tones though.

Cannot for the life of me - figure out what this means?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/28/2007 08:31:56 PM
I'm not too sure what I'm looking at here....
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/28/2007 06:55:15 PM
I think this is a deer track, but DNMC

beautiful, mysterious image. My favorite of the challenge. I'll nominate you for an OOBIE when this is done. 10

Interesting color and lighting, but I must admit that the picture does not appeal that much to me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/25/2007 03:54:41 AM
here's something different. not a trite image of a bird or a cat. well done
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/23/2007 04:35:28 PM
Is this a deer track or a shoe print? Either way, there is no wildlife present.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/23/2007 12:25:55 PM
Uh-oh. . . I have a feeling you are probably getting killed on this since you can't actually see wildlife in the photo. Sorry.

Blue snow ???

01/23/2007 03:46:03 AM
i can see the thought but i dont think it works very well.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/22/2007 09:07:41 PM
Hmm...interesting take on this challenge. I'm going to have to say I like it. Others might not but oh well...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/22/2007 08:35:38 PM
Where's the body? :) I found it kind of hard to make out the print.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/22/2007 04:38:12 PM
Would find the wildlife much more interesting that the footprint, I think. Just not much to see here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/22/2007 02:17:56 PM
Where's the deer? Nice editing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/22/2007 01:17:44 PM
I like the processing you have done on this, and it is a good out of the box photo!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/22/2007 07:43:17 AM
Nice out-of-the-box. Great coloring
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/22/2007 06:05:26 AM
Being very strict here, challenge did call for animals in natural environments, not just tracks. Excellent photo apart from that, love the colour and the clarity. Sorry, 6.

Good idea, however the image seems under exposed.
