Comment by Pedro:
bonus marks for using the word umbilicus AND spelling it correctly :)

a fairly safe entry, but well done nonetheless. sharp focus and well lit...which is saying a lot since lighting water droplets can be hella difficult. nicely done.

I like how the branch complements his antlers. Nice catch and good tonality.

Comment by W.R.Miller:
Beautiful shot! Excellent capture! I really like the saturation you did with this and I think it made a very strong image. I'm assuming you did a duo-tone type conversion? It doesn't look quite B&W. I'm glad it isn't, I like the tones you used here. Beautiful animal. Sharpness looks really good. Good luck with the challenge!!!

Comment by lecter1963:
this is not a bad image. B&W seems sort of OK. No eyes in the picture so it lacks "wow"
