Your central composition is visually strong. A wonderful choice and good entry into the Black and White Contest.
Congratulations 1st place win.....well deserved. Very well photographed in good lighting, sharp focus, and outstanding details and clarity in your image. A good tonal range throughout. I like your play with light and shadows creates depth and interest in your work. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing. Cyber six

This is a beautiful image LeeAnn. The color tones and the sharpness of detail are extremely attractive. The textures are rich and appealing and the exposure is excellent with very nice depth.

Oh how I enjoy seeing your images! They are so unique and interesting. This one is absolutely perfect in the black & white. I might not submit my B&W photo to this contest because I already know this one is a winner! (I will because I reserved a spot but your photo is Wow!) Good Luck!

It is most interesting how the wood surrounds the skull. It looks like a frame and emphasizes the skull remarkably. The textures of the skull and the wood are extraordinary sharp. The photo is perfectly composed, balanced and framed.

    Thanks for the wonderful review,I am very honored by the extra star! I was beginning to wish that I had brought one of the smaller doe skulls that I have because this one almost didn?t fit!

    My Pleasure! :o)
    I think the tight fit is perfect. It is part of what makes the photo especial interesting.

Eventually I am back from my 4 weeks holiday in Greece, and ready to review again. Then it is a truly pleasure to view such a great and original shot. I especially like how well the textures of the Wood are brought out, and how the skull seems to be stuck in it. The light is also falling on the skull in a lovely way. I also like a lot that this was presented in black and white.

The photo is pin Sharp showing truly Clear and well defined details both in the Wood and the skull, and the exposure is spot on.

The format and framing is Perfect and With the centered position of the skull, it is a very good Balance in the composition. A truly great looking and well taken photo Lee Ann, and I wish you Luck With the contest. Wish I had a 6 stars rating for you, but I have run out.

An interesting entry into the competition posted here which is edging towards the macabre! Your fine, full and central composition allows us a good look at your strange creation. Yes, the detail in both skull and wood comes out very well. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!

With fine skill and handling of the medium, you have presented the doe skull set in tree roots which is classical in its composition. You seem to draw inspiration from your thoughts, and experiences. Well done!

Wow! This is so cool! Very creative of you to place the deer skull into the tree root, this is unique, you have photographed it very well with good sharp focus, the image is clear, exposure is good, nice tonal variations in the B&W, good detail in both the skull and the root, well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!
