Velvet Antlers

This meets the Texture challenge requirement but only because you say so in the title. I KNOW antlers have that velvety texture but I can't detect it from looking at this picture. You would have a much better pic for this challenge if you had cropped to only have the head of the left guy and showing good close up focus of those velvety antlers. This pic has a snapshot quality to it.

Nice image. Like all the life in the bark and the play of lights and darks.

Love all the abstract shapes and the rhythm of the image.

Not as fluffy as he seems!

This is lovely. Would have cropped out the little dark area for the other eye. My eye wanders to it even though it's not supposed to go there Very, very nice.

You probably had a reason for cropping the way you did but I fail to see what that is. On the one hand you say the logo is important (since there's nothing else on the image) but on the other hand you say it is not worthy of showing it in its entirety. This doesn't do much for me.

Abstract Nature

This would have been so much more interesting if you had placed a contrasting object over the pebbles: a basket, old shoe, whatever.

Bullseye!

Not sure what this is but it holds my interest. Like the red/green color contrast and also the different brass? shape at the right.

What's the 1963 in the title? Hope this picture was not made then!

Congrats, Karen. I just love this picture and thought it was taken somewhere in Central America! lol
It's funny how subjective one is. I read Patella's comment and he would have liked to see everything in sharp focus. I, on the other hand, particularly likes the grass out of focus. It gives the image a painterly feel and it draws all the attention on the little girl in the white dress.
