Comment by MaryO:
The pose here is spectacular! Absolutely spectacular. Focus and DOF are spot on. And before I digress, I voted this a 9.

But I'm going to nitpick, because the color is striking me oddly. The delineations feel artificial: the little patch of yellow he's standing in and then a soldly pinkish field behind and green and yellow in front, with no colors interspersed elsewhere. The trees in the back appear in clear bands of color. I don't know if that's processing or if it really looked that way, but it just doesn't appear natural to my eye. If he wasn't standing out well enough because of color I would have gone with B&W. Such a strong image would work well that way IMO.

poor post-processing has really let this shot down.. the deer looks like it has been added in afterwards..

I am on the fence with this shot. I love the shot but he PS kills it for me, it is a way over done. Now please know I like it but it could be SO much better with out all the PS work.

Love the painterly quality to the processing. Awesome capture! It reminds me of something straight out of a wildlife book. 10
