Interesting shot, I love the sky colour and the 'long trek up the hill' poses of the deer. A bit more room on the left would be nice, and maybe a tweak in levels to completely black out the foreground.

A good example of a silhouette Mike. Try cropping half of the black foreground to give a more panoramic feel and see what you think. To my eye the extra black at the bottom is a bit superfluous.

I like the idea in this shot and agree tweaking it to fully black out the foreground would improve it further. The angle of the hill is great.

Would be interesting to hear your views on the other shots posted here Mike. :smile:
