COMPOSITION
I really think the comoposition on this is effective. Teh darker area on the left anchors the pictures and gives the eye somewhere to rest. It also seems to point the eye to the deer. Also, you have three distinct layers, field, trees, mountain. I think you probably could have cropped the sky out as it is kinda bland and almost make the top of the ridge look blown out. My personal feelings would like to see the deer facing the other way, BUT, as a photographer, you can only expect the animals to do so much. Facing into the frame would have made it feel more balanced for me.
TECHNIQUE
I love how you were able to expose it so that the details were visible, even in the darker parts. It portrays a true landscape shot, I think, and the deer in the foreground adds to the interest, as well as giving the shot a focal point. The mountains lack "luster," and sometimes a neutral density filter or polarizer will help, especially in the smokies because there is so much haze there.
Very well done, and I hope you enjoyed your time there!

| This sure looks familiar, like it is Cades Cove in the Smokies. Nice shot. |

| Is that a baby deer in the grass? I like this, wish the sky weren't so blown out, maybe crop it out. |

| The colors are nice but I find this scene fairly ordinary. I like the deer but I am distracted by darkness of the group of trees on the left. They interfere with the openess that would have appealed to me. It is also off balance with the deer on the same side. Maybe if you would have moved quickly to left to frame the deer on the right side and a smaller bit of the dark trees on the left to frame the scenery in the background. 5 |

| Calm and serene. I like it. Maybe a little bit of level adjustment to have the shadows on the left a little less dark. 6. Lionel |

| This is a good Capture. In my oppinon you need somewhat of a flash fill for the foreground up to the Dear. |

| I like the lighting on the area in the center. I wish the sky weren't so white though. The trees are interesting without leaves, but I think this would be much prettier in the fall or summer. Cute title. |
