Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club and congratulations on a new #2 image!
First Impression: The two main things that hurt this image were 1. The ,issing head that you mentioned and 2. The Deer is a little dull and dark for me.
Composition: I really like the composition here! The foreground grass is wonderfully blurred, a nice stone to anchor the image, the main deer is placed perfectly and the reflected colours in the water give this shot a warm Summer evening feel.
Subject: Can't really go wrong with a nice shot of a Deer (or two) and whilst the second Deer is good in the mostpart maybe you would have got that magic 6 score without it? (edited to add no you wouldn't cos then it wouldn't be the animals lol)
Technical: I do like the shot but think its a little flat and maybe playing with the brightness/contrast and even hue/saturation or curves and levels would have helped this pop and brought out more detail in the darkish Deer.
Final thoughts: Obviously a keeper and it must have been a great feeling capturing this shot, still loveing the colours here - well done.

Woa! Crazy DOF! I couldn't realize where the lake started, hehe! I like the colors, the choice of band for this shot and i already said, but the DOF too.
I wish the shot was brighter than that, maybe more level at the white!
Nice shot!
PS: I'm not voting on this one because i'm in too, just commenting some shots.
Good luck! |

| Before, I looked at the title I was thinking "deers". Its a good picture but, it would of been nice to see other animals to fit the title just a little bit better. |

| A little too dark on your subject but the colors are nice and I like the pick up in the water of the other deer. |

| Totally odd with the reflection from the other side, I wish the reflections did not overlap. |
