Even though it was a cloudy day, I grabbed the camera and followed them from one side of the lake to the other. Eventually I came up with this shot.

Great choice of crop and composition. Good choice to go with B&W too.

the subject matter is wonderful but the picture is so washed out with light. try adjusting it with your digital dark room would be my suggestion.

Normally I don't like the long thin crops, but it works very well with this one. Nice...

A shame this is a bit on the small side, the composition is great, I love the b & w treatment and it meets the challenge perfectly. Good luck but I think the size may lose you some points.

Love this. The void to the right gives the impression the deer are definitely on the move. Wish they were a little sharper though. Thanks for sharing.

IMO, would be more attractive with cropping even on right/left sides, too much open space on right side
