Oh Deer!

Comment:
Fit to Contest: 3 out of 5, no real bottom frame, forground meant as frame is out of focus and not consistent with the trees framing the rest of the picture.
Technical Quality
Exposure/Lighting: 3 out of 5, subjects are a little dark and detail is lost.
Color/Graysale 3 out of 5, background is a little washed out. contrast is a little flat.
Focus/Sharpness 4 out of 5, again, the forground is out of focus and somewhat of a distracting element that doesn't fit with the rest of the picture.
Composition
Crop/Layout 4 out of 5, not bad but probably could have been better if you weren't trying to "frame" them for this contest.
Elements/Lines 4 out of 5
Scale to 9 6.3 out of 9
Subjective stuff
Interesting subject .1 Everybody loves deer :)
Rounded total 6

I like it...it almost has an M.C. Escher look to it. I would like to see it with less outside wall showing more tightly croppedaround the window.

I love this picture. I would have given it a little higher vote if it had been cropped closer around the inside edges of the frame.
