the only thing i did to this pic was to resize and send it through noiseware on portrait levels. Pretty much straight from the camera otherwise.

Nice capture, but could benefit from some more 'oomph' in postprocessing (contrast, saturation, darkening of the background)

Way to flat contrast wise for my taste, also too bright.

Nice capture of this doe! I like the detail in that we can see (almost feel really) the downy softness of her fur. The two things that I would suggest to improve this image is that the contrasts and saturation seems a bit flat. Bumping up the contrast or even playing around with the shadow/hightlights/midtone levels would help the subject pop visually. As for the saturation it looks a little washed out - bumping up the saturation bias & strength would help deepen and enrich the hues without over saturating the image. Another way to do this in-camera as you are taking the picture is to play with a higher aperature setting (5.6 or 6) and a shutter speed of ohh 1/200 to 1/1000 to offset the bright afternoon sun that may wash out the contrasts and saturation in exposures (you may really have to play around with the setting before settling on what would be best the next time an encounter like this presents itself to you).

Nice catch. Strong photo of a deer. The background leaves something to be desired.

This gives the appearance of being a bit washed out but the more I look at this the more I like it!
It has the feel of a water colour painting very pretty Nice work 8
