Not sure why I am entering this as I'm sure it'll bomb. In fact, I'm 100% sure this will bomb just thinking about it...
Reasons why this will bomb:
1. It's lame.
2. Implies sex.
3. No beautiful landscape to be found.
4. No beautiful women models anywhere.
5. You didn't shoot an original Far Side cartoon.
6. It's a deer and not a cool eagle or something like that.
7. You cut off his feet, err hooves.
8. Just because.
Actually, I found this fun to shoot. I knew what I pretty much wanted so all week I had my 70-200mm lens with 1.4x extender. Unfortunately only one time did I capture them grooming each other so I had to make due with this.
The original has another deer at the very top grooming itself and I thought about keeping that in the shot but decided to make things a bit cleaner looking by cloning it out. The rest of the editing included creating the cigarette and cloning that deer on the left over to the right to make the theme more obvious. That's pretty much it.

Wow. I'm surprised. Thanks to all. Btw, I also forgot to mention I lowered the deer's eye lids just a bit to give it that stoned look. :P

Cute. Great moment to capture in any situation. Good use in this challenge. Well composed. Could have cropped a little on the left to balance out the does but it really doesn't matter. 7 - good luck in the challenge!
Haha, I didn't notice the cigarette until this time around, good touch. This is a really sharp photo and your photo doesn;t look cut and pasted either nice work.
