Also would have worked well for Fill the Frame. Glad to see this was a Team Suck member - I thought it was indeed a pretty interesting take on the challenge. Also pleasing to see that at least the commenters enjoyed the motion blur, too. I like the single red foot in the upper right.

Deer Here

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.

Excellent title! Great timing on the capture, too - they really do look likes kids at the schoolyard about to get in a scuffle.

Quiet and understated. Would have been a nice entry for the Minimalism challenge except for all that editing stuff. Sky has a nice flow to it.

Crow Tree Hill

I was stuck with the choice of crows or pigeons and couldn't get either to cooperate at all. I like the presentation here, but for me I think the clouds are a bit TOO gold. I do like the switch, but maybe not quite as strong. But for DPC, too much is usually better. Silhouetting the birds gave it a bit of an eerie, ominous feel which indeed matches the clouds.

Nap Time - Great Blue Heron

There's a really cool thing I don't know if you noticed - the curl of the dark headfeather thingie is echoed by little blue dots of sky in the background. A good shot, and a different perspective on one of these guys.

You were just a wee bit off on your predictions. This was one of my favorite shots in a very very good challenge.
