Deer

[JAS_Photo]

I saw this with your others on another thread and meant to comment on it but now that it is alone that is even better. Personally, I like it it the best. It has a real enchanted forest look to it. I like the shape of the trees in the background, the reflections and the painterly look it has. The real criticisms I will leave to the more knowledgable members.

Oh c'mon ... if you think it's crap tell him. He can take it!

Everyone's opinion is important. With photos being so subjective, only getting 'knowledgeable' critiques doesn't provide a full view.

And I've seen some of your photos Raiven ... your opinion counts!

Yeah, anyones opinion counts here. If there is one thing that will help you with your own photography is critiquing others. It will help you verbally communicate the thoughts and feelings you have about an image. Thats all a critique really is, the thoughts and feelings you have in a little more detailed manner. Over time it will help you develop your style of photography as well. It takes practice to critique an image, once you get it though you will feel more comfortable with it. I put this out there for a reason, blast away... Thanks MA, I am going to play around with the crops and maybe some dodging and burning later today.

I like the shot and soft mood but feel we are too far from the deer and the deer seem soft.

I have to agree. The deer should be closer.The fore ground is a little distracting and out of focus.
