Comment from Cyeseye
What a lovely view; very skilled digital manipulation. At first the off color sky was uncomfortable but after giving it a chance it grew on me and I was able to accept it as fitting for a digital image. A second distraction was not so easy to dispense with. By having the deer looking away in this manner you are psychologically demanding that I embrace the mountains in the background as our center of interest when in fact, all the real action and dynamic beauty are in the foreground. This creates undue tension to the point so that the spell you have woven is broken some. Would make it easier for me to enjoy if the deer was looking back this way in some manner; or perhaps coming down to the lake for a drink. But still an overall good job.

Comment from Kenneth Dinkel
Outstanding concept and execution of this work that captivates the viewer with great initial impact. The lone deer makes the statement to this work.

Comment from MGTF Blue
Lovely layered picture this. The base layer of the grass and wild flowers, the brilliantly rendered layer of the water. The far side of the water and distand mountains ad then the sky. It all hangs together nicely, the Stag and bird being good focal points of added interest.
