The shot is great, the process sounds complicated but thank you for your interesting notes. This piece is beautiful, it has great color and light. love the finish and the effect of the gold foil overlay.

Comment from Mara del Mar


Congratulations. This is beautiful and good. Great work, seems that I can go in there and walk on the snow. Are see compact, solid. The tree of first plane is amazing, and the figures darks of ciervos form a wonderful contrast. Great work.
Mara.

Lovely winter scene. All of the elements combine nicely for a cohesive whole. Nice framing with the tree in the foreground. Good compositional choice in the placement of the wildlife. Nice leading line through the image between the trees to lead the eye to the back of trhe image. Overall very well done.

What a wonderful scene.
I love how we see the three deer, one male and two female in the midst of all the snow, placed in the lower part of a gentle slope.
There is a leading line fromt where they are to the area of trees. It's nice to have the white area continue beyond, and then to have trees on each side.
The deer are well placed to the left, and even the middle of the division of trees is placed somewhat left of center. Balance is given with the foreground tree. It's curving line also frames and encloses the scene.
Nice use of space. Good composition.
Lovely details esp. on the foreground tree.
very nice use of contrast.
Like the stronger tones of the trees against the softer look of the deer and and backround trees.
nice definition in the clouds.
nice use of different whites. Like the colors..gentle.
lovely picture.

Comment from Jean A Cormier


Again, not sure how this is done, the the effect is dramatic. Very pleasing compostion, three bold shapes of the deer balanced by the tree in the foreground. Nice muted background lets me wonder what's ahead for this little trio. Nicely done! Jean

Good work you have there.
For me it is a peaceful surrounding to see all the snow. (I am from Iceland, you see:)
It also gives me Christmas feeling to look at this work and this would be a great Christmas card.

    Thank you ever so much for the beautiful review, Ingi. Regarding the 4.5 rating, what did you see that needed correcting, and I will attempt to correct it if possible. Again, thank you!!

    For me personally is a 4,5 rating very good rating and the image it self needs no correcting. You could maybe sharpen the colors a bit, but that is just my opinion.
Comment from marksgallery


this would make a great greeting card. The scene is so wintery but at the same time gives a warm glow to my soul. Wonderful the way you have composed the scene
