Walking in a local park and suddenly had the feeling I was being watched. Looked to my left and there he was, staring at me! I was only able to get off two shots before he bolted.

" THAT'S RIGHT, THE BUCK STOPS HERE!" is a good Wildlife shot. I am really glad to see a real Wildlife shot as opposed to the tons of zoo shots. I love how natural shot is. Its like watching a nature show and you can hear the quite voice in the background saying "through the trees we spot a buck in its natural habit". The only things I would try is to tighten the crop on the left just a little so that you don't have such a bright white spot on the bottom left corner. Also the ear seems a little bright. I don't know if it over blown or the contrast to bring out the tree is just a little much. The trees are so amazing to show the natural environment. I really am suprised I did not see this shot place higher, it really is a differnt from the rest and stands out.

Nice going. Way to keep the foreground out of focus. I think this would probably score a little higher if there a more clear shot at the buck. But given the situation, any movement would have probably frightened him off.

Nice natural framing with the focus.

This image looks like an illusion type image, or even an impressionism style. I actually like it..... as it suit the shy deer very well.....

Very nice catch! A little hot on the whites (ear and neck), but otherwise an interesting image. May look like your meter wanted to focus on the branches just in front of the deer (hate it when it does that!) and kept the deers head from being sharply focused. Giving you bonus points for just getting the shot in the first place! Well done.

Good luck in the challenge.

I like the surreal effect of the brush in the foreground.

Nicely done...would've preferred it without the distracting branches in the foreground but they work well with him looking surprised so it doesn't detract too much. Nice placement in the shot...I like it.

awesome title! good reflexes on taking this picture I bet. I like how its through the trees. You get an interesting perspective like you are right there in the woods.
