 Wow, this is very pretty!  The colors are just awesome.  The composition is very serene - it looks so nice that I wonder if you didn't ask the deer to pose nicely for you ;-D  I love the flowers, the shadows around the bottom, and how the deer seems to look right at the viewer.  The almost-gradient from lighter colors at the top to darker at the bottom makes for an exquisite effect.
 
 As others have said, this looks like a painting.  Personally I find that wonderful to look at.  From a photographic standpoint, however, it doesn't seem as "alive" as I would expect a photo to be.  It seems very flat and noisy.  The commenters, and myself, like the effect but I would imagine that other people might not, which probably did hurt your score.
 
 All in all, congrats on such a GORGEOUS shot!!  You might have some luck selling this as a print because it truly is lovely.

		| | Ummm, are you sure you didn't just take a picture of the painting hanging on your wall?  This is just fabulous!  Perhaps a few too many jpeg artifacts, but the composition and color is superb. |

		| | What a wonderful surprise and way to start the day! She looks as surprised as you probably were.
 A "deer" in the morning or a "dear" in the morning keeps you smiling all day!
 
 Very Nice

		| | You either had a very tame deer or were incredibly quick off the mark to take this one!  It is beautiful and I particularly like the meadow flowers to add further interest. |

		| | perhaps isn't perfect, there is noise on the image (perhaps for the crop or for the underexposition or other reason) but this image seems a painting. It's a beautiful image now I rate it 9 but I come back in the second moment. 
 OK, 10!

		| | Shot has a good bit of noise to it, but capturing a doe in the morning is not easy.  Nice shot. |

		| | don't know what it is that make's it look more like a painting then a photograph... I'm sure it's the fog, still there's something that just doesn't do it for me for a nature photograph... |

		| | WOW oh WOW! I can almost feel the droplets hitting my face. The white flowers to the left of the deer make it for me. Lovely. |
