Nice image well exposed. The oof deer is a bit distracting and i think the image could do with a bit more sharpening.

Agree with Rene re the softness, Dont think you needed F14 either for thsi type of image, The headless deer takes any impact away from the image IMO as do the posts in the background,Is that some kind of bedding they are on?

Hi Jeff,

quite a nice shot that could have been a lot better. It looks a bit dark and not quite sure why at f14 it dont look sharp, headless deer already mentioned as are the trees/posts in the background :wavey:

I think getting down to eye level with a smaller aperture could have improved this shot greatly by throwing some of the foreground/background out of focus and shifting more attention to the deer. Nice light on those antlers though. :smile:
