What a beautiful night image! The sharpness is fantastic. It couldn't be any better. It looks like it ought to be on a travel brochure.

Very nice image and good detail and the deer. The dof used is wonderful the lighting seems really good as well.

My biggest issue with this photo is placement. it needs cropped more so that the deer is not in the middle. I would probably have cut about half the distance between the deer and the right edge to move the deer out of the center.

That really seems to be the one main flaw here the cropping of the photo.

As for meeting the challenge I understand what you are saying but think it may be a little week for the average voter. A buck is strong had it been a doe or fawn i believe delicate would have been represented better.

Greetings from the Critique Club.

This is a nice photo. It has all the elements of a good landscape: dramatic perspective; depth; areas of foreground, midground, and background; attractive color; a focal point (the birds). Composition is fine; although I'd prefer a bit more sky, I like the wide format. But it doesn't have anything to lift it above the crowd of everyday photos and give it real impact. I'm not sure just what to suggest here. Maybe sharper overall focus, especially the water. Maybe more contrast in the midground trees, which seem to have lots of interesting textures and colors, but it's too subtle here to be interesting. I don't think the grain/noise was an asset here; it makes the photo look muddy rather than contributing to a mood.

Nothing just really catches my eye except for the fact that it's a good photo
