double trouble

Great DOF and composition. The highlights seem a little blown out though (IMHO). Only a minor point in a very good shot. Elephants are such majestic creatures.

Great composition & DOF. The highlights seem a bit blown out toward his back and the shadows a little dark, but they're minor points on this shot. Really nice work.

You know those shots you just keep coming back to because they have that certain je ne sais qua? Well this one is it for me in this challenge. It's beautiful. Amazingly warm tones. I still can't put my finger on what it is about this image that I find a little off, but the whole thing continues to grow on me. Bumping up...

Not bad! IMHO, the crop is a little tight and it looks a tad overprocessed, but still a nice shot. Sorry you missed the deadline - there were a few (but not too many) deer shots.

Arthur is beautiful. Really nice shot, but a little overexposed IMHO. Could bring out a little more color to make it pop too. Love his expression and the composition.

Great capture. Love the composition, but the highlights seem blown out to me - just a tad too bright, causing some loss of DOF. Very emotional shot though - Nice job.

Should have finished much higher IMHO. Really great image.

Amazed this didn't finish higher. Still, I hope you're happy with the shot - it's great!
