IF I'm not mistaken an artist whose name begins with an an L created this! Love the details and lifelike appearance of this! Love the wooded background! It's the perfect surroundings for the deer who was also beautifully done. Great entry for the contest! GoodLuck! :o) Nancy

You have done a marvelous job puting these beautiful grounds and a full racked bull dear. You love snow as I can remember and it shows. The best of luck in the contest. Ray

I really love this scene of a buck gazing at you with a backdrop of snowy woods and trees. I also like the stones capped with fresh snows. You've really conceptualized all the elements of your composition and the overall scene is so refreshing. The landscape orientation is an excellent choice. A festive and realistic setting. With you the best in this contest.

This is beautiful. I like the added touch of the snow falling. The buck looks so real. I love the antlers. I like the snow covered rocks. I also like the trees in the back ground. Good luck in the contest.

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of that handsome deer and its winter location. Textures, tones and detail are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

This is a beautiful rendition of this deer in the snow laden countryside. Very realistic and lovely to view. For those of us that live in tropical climes this is a beautiful sight. Good luck in the contest.
