 Export to 16-bit TIF from RawShooter. PS: Rotate, Crop, Levels. Spot edited some minor black spots on deer's legs and chin. Colorisation & Desaturation. Resize, Crop, convert to 8-bit, save as Jpeg.

I'm really gutter about the visible road, I hope people won't notice it that much :-) Unfortunatelly everything happened in a few moments and didn't have the time to move and capture from a different position, I was also afraid of upsetting the stag as I wasn't that far away.

I like how the branch complements his antlers. Nice catch and good tonality.

Beautiful shot! Excellent capture! I really like the saturation you did with this and I think it made a very strong image. I'm assuming you did a duo-tone type conversion? It doesn't look quite B&W. I'm glad it isn't, I like the tones you used here. Beautiful animal. Sharpness looks really good. Good luck with the challenge!!!

this is not a bad image. B&W seems sort of OK. No eyes in the picture so it lacks "wow"

Nice capture with excellent b&w treatment, really bringing the buck out from the background.

I like this shot because of the interest and the natural feeling. I am not a fan of the overall composition though. The lighting is terrific as well as the focus. Above average rating.
