Nice buck with good detail in the coat. I like the multiple layers of color from foreground to background.

The lovely natural colors and nice layers make this a very pleasing image to view Philip. I do feel it needs some CW rotation correction. It does look surprisingly sharp for that slow SS btw!

I like the rich layered colors and the magnificent specimen! In a perfect world I would wish his antlers did not meet the out of focus trees in the far background, but it is still very nice as presented.
