 There are litteraly hundreds and hundreds of deer that hang out in about a 4 mile stretch. Most of which are fawns and does. I did find a few bucks, but they were so far out that when I tried to make them work they were soft, and if you pushed to try and sharpen them it was obvious and didn't look good.

I like the framing of this. The foreground bokeh seems coincidental, but I stil like the shot.

Hee hee... I really like the muted colours in this, and a brilliant capture of the poor surprised deer!

nice catch, colors are very rural, but a shame about the seemingly overexposed white parts. also looks like you used vignette though not sure. 7

7 - Nice use of fore bokeh in this difficult challenge. Like to have seen it a little stronger, but again 'difficult'. Fairly minor but the white 'dot' in the background detracts slightly, so perhaps cropping that out may have made the image stronger. Nice colorings.
