Sorry you didn't reach your dream score, but this is a great photo -- one of my 10s this round. I sort of want to raise the camera half an inch, but I respect your composition. Out of curiosity, would like to know what the black spot is above the deer on the left. It looks like a bird is sitting on his back, but that couldn't be so, could it?

It looks to me like she just finished snapping a shot and is giving somewhat of a coy "I gotcha" look.
Really like this, wonder if a little warmth would approach more of a 60s color feel?

Spectacular Marac! Those deer are awesome...almost looks like the beginning of a fox hunt...from a fox's viewpoint.

great exposure. I wonder how many people with poorly calibrated monitors missed the deer in the foreground...
