Well you did get into the top 10 and that's not bad at all. I thought it would go right to the top and I voted it a 10.

I think I would say it held its own! Apologies for suggesting it might have been the work of that second-rate photographer Simms;¬P - and congrats on the top 10 finish!

All right another top ten, but seriously now, quit wasting all these good scores on non oly challenges. =)

Impressive shot and processing.

Comment by Purple_Girl:
I'm not sure on the processing here, everything around the stag looks to be in motion blur somehow, even the tree. I can see that that might help make the deer the focal point but personally, I'd find it more attractive if everything was more in focus. Still, he's a beautiful animal and you've captured him at a great moment.

One of the best in the challenge!!! Love the atmosphere of this shot – not to mention the color tones, composition, animal’s pose and post-processing.
