Comment from Jean A Cormier
What can I say, I love this! The color palette, composition, subject matter, the details such as the stance and placing the tree in the mist in the background which carries the shapes in his antlers, all makes for a delightful and whimsical type of work! What a Christmas card here! jean

Strong initial impact with this nicely composed image. The background is striking and the muted colors are pleasing to the eye. Like the position of the reindeer in the image. Very nicely done!

I like different, out of the ordinary. This fills the bill.

The composition is super. The Reindeer? is nicely framed by the tree and the sun/moon. The colors of the Reindeer and the background compliment each other so very well.

I am glad you added the dark streaks in the right of the image. That served well to balance the scene.

I love the shadow under the Reindeer also.

Just a work of art to be proud of!

Excellent work.

Allan

Like your edit, tells a story, well composed, framed with the negative space that helps with the theme. Good job, all very well presented.

I am amazed. Truly. In love with this picture. It is so artistic. The reindeer, standing off center. Nothing else to distract our attention from this wonderful beast. Even the sun is blurred. Excellent. I wish I had a 6.

An excellent image with outstanding details and very fine composition. The background treatment is beautifully subtle and the colors are exceptional. Best of luck in the contest.

What a beautiful piece of art. You have presented this very well. The use of the background draws the eye right to the moose/deer. Not sure what type of animal it is. Lighting is subtle and gives it a ambient feel. Good luck and wonderful composition.
