Congratulations Lee Ann on your win ð???! Deers and bucks territory is your specialty. You captured this one with success! Excellent everything, including the composition, the colors and notes, contrast and clarity. I like the enjoyment of his unity with the nature. Sorry for not having any sixes this week. Enjoy your deserved win!

a potential winner of this contest: a great close up of one of your visitors smiling while being almost asleep; excellent sharp details; unfortunately oversaturated giving this blue cast;

I really like the close and personal approach, and also how lovely the bush with yellow flowers are framing the snoozing buck. The light is falling on the beautiful animal in such a lovely way, and the buck is also standing out from the background in an excellent way.

The photo is nice and sharp and it is such clear and well defined details to be seen in every part of the animal. The exposure is perfect.

The format and tight framing is working well, and the buck is well placed in the photo. I think this is a lovely and well taken photo with a very good DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

This buck seems to enjoy himself. He seems to smile while snoozing in the sunshine. Your photo has good depth, is perfect focused and exposed, and sufficiently treated with mixed media. I enjoy the realism of color and light and the refinement of detail. The tight framing is adequate. The mixed media is perfect composed and framed. The composition is balanced.

The buck is enjoyable presentation of the animal stopping and smelling the spring flowers, then a taking a nap.
Great details, natural colors and overall pleasing presentation!

This is a great shot. The buck must have been sleeping soundly or deep in thought since he looks so relaxed and apparently did not detect your presence.
A good entry for the animals in nature contest.
This is a great rare captured moment in time. Best of luck in the contest.

You must have said while you were taking the picture "awwwww ain't you cute?" Judging this happy deer expression from this buck. Pretty cool. The clarity is great. The angle of the shot of this eyes closed buck is great. The capture of the light is great..the image is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall.

A good looking image posted here! Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable view of that dozing deer before you. Like his nose and fur detail. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely taken!

This is beautiful wild-life photography. You have timed it well. The light and the composition have worked well and you have caught the 'meditating' buck very well! Good effort.
