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..
