Superb. The background colour looks stunning & the Deer is nicely framed by the trees.
Nice comp too.

I really like this, sure it looks better printed than it does on the web.
The idea of movement in the leaves add to the effect, which I want to describe as isolation, but it does not quite convey what I mean. Sorry brain not fully working today - if I think of it later I'll post again - if not I'll have to wait for someone more eloquent to say it for me
Its very nice Mark, however I am not sure about the blurring of the leaves/branches... but thats just me...

Now this looks nice Mark, but I echo Phils concern over the blurring - I like it on the small thin twiggy bits but I think it might look a bit heavy and clumpy on the thicker branches closer to the lens.
There's a funny 'edge' to the tree trunks too - the left one looks over-sharp and the right one looks like you've over-brushed something.
Sounds like I'm being picky, but if you want to put it in a comp matey.....
thanks all for the kind words and most importantly the advice,thanks Andy and Phil.Yep Danny thank you too, Padawan Mark is pleased if Obiwan is too!Just inspirational.
I have done a touch of rework on a new Tiff from Raw and not totally erradicated the bur but knocked it back a bit. I felt in the original the branches were far too sharp and detracting from the main subject. .So thanks again all.Still not sure if its a keeper .
