This is an extraordinary portrait. You captured the beauty of the animal perfectly. Your photo has good depth and is perfect focused and exposed and treated with mixed media. I am impressed by the realism of light and color and the sharpness of detail. I see single hairs in his ears and light reflections in his eye. His antlers look as if polished. The portrait is well composed and framed. The buck is perfect placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

That is one healthy eight pointer. I think he has his eye on me, his bullseye that is. This is a well fed buck with nice lines and wonderful coloring, standing in front of the field of golden rod. Thank you for sharing. Ray

Such a perfect and stunning photograph of this amazing bull's-eye. This photograph of this amazing bull's-eye would make such an amazing pastel. It is such a beautiful clear photo and you can see the details on his fur so well. You have inspired me to try to draw one of these amazing animals since wildlife is one of my favorite subjects to draw. Thank you so much for sharing such outstanding inspirational photography it's really stunning. I'm so sorry I don't have a six left to give you. I ran out pretty quick.

Nice looking buck. The clarity is great. The angle of the shot of this buck with a great rack is great. The capture of the light is great. The presentation is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall.

Beautiful! He is a hunters dream. And a photographers dream as well, Usually its the females we see as the males kind of hide in the bush lol, cowards. I like the colours of the ears and that sorrowful eye like you made me turn around. lol

You've captured a beautiful image here showing Bullseye looking over his shoulder. Love how you can see the whole of the antlers in this shot. Very good camera techniques showing a lovely clear image. Great composition. Suzanne

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of that majestic deer before you. Like its antlers and fur. Colours, textures and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!
