Great Alan the Autumn BG really does contrast well, a few years ago I would have been looking through cross hairs at it, its safe now.

Hi Alan,
This is very eye-catching indeed. I'm still a little undecided as to whether the background is just a little too bright and colourful and thus stealing a bit of the limelight away from the buck. Still a very nice, attention grabbing image though.

Actually Alan I quite like the colours, however it doesn't look sharp to me? :eek:

Classic comp and pose, can't decide on whether the background is taking it over the top.
Sharpness looks moderate, although I rekon his face could do with some selective USM.

I think it works well overall,

Hi Alan

I like this shot and composition, and I think it will be enhanced somewhat if you tone down the background a little as it is a touch over powering.

Nice pose from the buck but I'm afraid I do find the bg overpowering....
