I originally posted this in ES&S a couple of weeks ago but I reworked it a bit and upped the contrast.

Gorgeous, Dan. The soft light and warm glow create a very soothing mood. The gently rolling foreground cradles the rest of the scene nicely. I didn't see the original, but the levels and contrast here look excellent.

Although it would modify the pleasing 4:5 format, a slight crop from the top gives it a more intimate feel, imo.

The fog creates a fine mood and really nice perspective for the image. I really like the fade out to the small tree. I like Rick's crop suggestion.

Very nice Dan. I love the subdued tones and the deer. I'm sure this will make a fine print.

Wow, I love the vagueness of it. Had to scratch my head and wonder if there were deer in the shot. There is! Always love images that have me wondering for a second.

Dan, just wondered if you're a Robert Glen Ketchum fan with all the trees you photograph?

Dan,
As others have commented, the mood of this shot is great. Very pleasing composition. Best Regards.
