Greetings from the Critique Club

This is a good catch and meets the challenge in my opinion. However, some very, very quick and easy post processing could have increased the score dramatically.

The composition is good, the subject is in focus and is quite sharp. The problem seems to be the lighting. It is really flat (very difficult at this time of year of course!). However, with a few tweaks in an editing programme, you could have really brought the picture to life.

Hopefully this provided you with some insight as to why it scored 5.3 and not higher.

Nice shot; just want a bit of the catchlight in the eye brought out to really bring him to life.

This looks like it was shot on an overcast day. Lighting is a bit flat.

Wonderful tones and fabulous textures. The rushes add something extra special compositionally to this shot.... the young buck is portrayed excellently here.
