I really like this... wasn't in my top scoring group, but was in the bunch JUST below. As we've come to expect from our illustrious leader, this is a wonderful work of art. Bravo! I love the mood, the emotion. Technically, the composition is wonderful...

Good capture and composition. Don't know if you could have done a little more to make the colour pop a bit more... regardless... is a nice take on the challenge, and a very nice photo. Well done.

Absolutely beautiful image. Well worthy of a ribbon. Congratulations. Colours and details here are EXCELLENT... as is the use of shallow DOF. Well done.

Great breathe of fresh air in this challenge... something COMPLETELY different... something to make the viewer think. Love the simplicity of this, VERY MUCH. I hope that you haven't been punished too harshly for making the voters think a little.

Technically perfect image. Wonderful use of selective sat, the shadows in the background are a wonderful touch... details are shark... good border. Should do very well and I personally reckon this will ribbon.

This is wonderful. I love the detail and use of shallow DOF to bring attention to it. Processing is great... though somewhat unconventional here on DPC... I'm thinking that's what I like so much about it... has a warmth about it. I feel I was a bit harsh on this during my voting phase and bumping it up a little to join 8 other images I've given my top. Well done.

Beautiful image. Perfect for the theme. I love the processing and composition. One of my top 10 favourites for this challenge.

Absolutely beautiful image, and it's wonderful how it meets the challenge in more ways then one. Composition and detail are faultless. Only criticism of this that I have is the vignette/border you've used... IMHO, it doesn't add to the image... makes it look like a bevelled web button. Just how I see that aspect of the processing.... nevertheless, this is one of a handful of images that I've given my top mark too. Well done.

Great image, and one of the handful I've awarded my highest vote too in this challenge. Love the warmth of the processing, and I'm a huge fan of the vignette. The LOUD wallpaper is a nice touch, linking the antlers to the environment in which they would have once been... though with a creature attached to them one assumes. One criticism of this, the border... I hate it when people knock me for my borders, and I hate doing it to others, but in this instance, the border here doesn't work for me... or the image IMHO.

I don't understand this image's relevance to the theme... but I love it none-the-less, and I'm going to assume there's a "branch" connection and ignore my ignorance. This is a great photo... wonderfully composed... makes me think, and I like that... but, I think too many voters will, like me wonder what the connection to the theme is, but unlike me, they masses will vote as if it's a DNMC. Some consolation if they do... I'll be giving this a MUAIMHO... that is IF the voters don't give this the love it deserves.
