Fantastic! I'd love to read more about how you achieve this look in your animal portraits. They're really terrific and you create such amazing texture (or allow it to shine through). Excellent.

I like the selective desat here - really makes the fawn stand out. Great detail & textures on her too. Not crazy about the border and the crop is a little tight, but the pic is terrific. ;-)

From the CTP MkII

First Impression: Very nice and mystical.

Composition: Really good, with FG making a diagonal through the BG.

Subject: very acurate for the challenge. It's difficult for me to think where you are, or what's exactly this, but it's very suitable for the challenge

Technical: Great tones, with two just two colors. Focus OK.

Improvement: a small part of the sky and of the statue is a bit blown up.

Summary: Really good shot. Congrats on your new Personal Best (We are also tied in PB...LOL). Good job.

Hi Richard,

I was glad that this had been validated by the time I got around to voting. It looks like something out of a comic book. The scene looks like there was quite a bit of NI action going on. It's not a bad thing, I think, just one of those things where I'm trying to figure out how things were done! The only thing I have to critique here is that I'm not crazy about the gray/green against purple. I don't object to the purple sky at all, but something about the color combination puts me off a little. That's the best I can come up with, heh! Nice work :-)

I'm going to be perfectly honest here, so please don't hold it against me... I didn't like this shot all that much. It was too dark and eerie and maybe a little disturbing looking for my tastes. Maybe that was the effect you were going for, in which case you did a good job �. Everyone else seemed to love it, though. Congrats on the top finish!
Technically the composition and lighting are superb, and the subject is interesting, and meets the challenge. It has a very emotional feel to it. The composition is simple and to the point. Well done.
