Composition: Subject Placement, Cropping, Background9, Technical: Focus, Exposure, Lighting, Processing10, Appeal: Is it Interesting, Motivating, Etc.? 2, Total Averaged Rating7. Autool I disagree with this being garbage, hence the low score in appeal. A nice picture of a perfectly natural part of the life cycle. Whoops, if a hunter left it behind then it is garbage! changed my vote to a 9.
Nice shot. This would even be a nice shot outside of the "garbage" challenge. Not utterly discusting, and technically well done. I like the angle and framing/cropping you have chosen. The focus is good, and the lighting conditions were very nice for the shot. I think this would make it into a "research and learn" kind of book. Nice job. Good luck in the challenge. ~Hbunch7187~
Good idea. You could change the centerpoint of your levels, and bring the antlers out a bit more. The photo is a little monochromatic as bright as it is.
Quite a rack. Some hunter somewhere is going nuts for missing this one. Or maybe he got it... I wonder if you saturated the grass with more color if the head would stand out more. DPz
