Deer skull with leaves and fern

Quite a striking nature photo posted here! Your fine composition grants us a reasonable look at your deer skull. Think it was a good idea to put green leaves on it. Sharpness and exposure are good. Nicely done.

You always come up with aesthetic arrangement--naturally convincing!
Exquisite image.
Impeccable presentation.

Pin sharp focusing. Subtle lighting... Compact framing.

Tall format works well.
Thanks for sharing...

The contradiction of the scull and the fallen leaves with the fresh green of the fern is striking. The colors are very impressive. The photo is well focused and efficiently treated with mixed media. The scull is perfectly placed within the frame. The diagonal view is intriguing. The tall, tight framing is perfect. The composition ids balanced.

I like the way the green fern adds life to the dead leaves and the grey skull . It shows that nature protects the beauty of the forest. Perfect framing. Sharp detail. Colorful image. Well done.

An interesting image showing death against the new life. The composition is good with excellent color and sharp focus. White balance and exposure handled well.

Comment from mamamary


It is interesting. A combination of death and life, with death winning. I like what you did with the color adjustment. I would think you chose to go a bit brighter to let it pop! A nice presentation.

Very different and creative composition. The colors are so vibrant. I feel like the lush alive looking green leaves and the skull of the buck are such a juxtaposition. Very nice work!

Another very fine shot of your beautiful deer skull. I like the diagonal placement and think the dead leaves make a great background. The ferns are nice too.

I really like the mixture of the fallen leaves and the fresh green fern and the way the skull is arranged on top of the leaves and partially under the fern.
Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is well managed, colors and tones appear natural. Well composed and presented!

There's one young buck that didn't end up lasting all that long,LeeAnn!
