I am sure that the Great Mother will carry his spirit to its home. We, who followed him along looking at your photos will miss the beautiful animal.
Your mixed media is perfect focused and exposed and has good depth. The deer is excellent placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

A very beautiful moment and situation with this special animal in such a special position and your story makes me sad as well as I love them too,
your picture is excellent in such a great situation, and I am kind like said to describe the beautiful picture after reading the sad situation
your frame choice is excellent, your close up is fantastic and I can imagine that it takes hours and hours to get such a special picture done - awesome and thanks for sharing

Awww!! I'm gonna cry, that is so sad. I understand why people hunt but I never could. This is a beautiful image. You have captured him and his personality here. He looks graceful. You will have these photos always. Thank you for sharing your experience. Best of luck in the contest

Im truly speechless. I'm so sorry to hear about this bullseye it truly broke my heart to read this. He was truly beautiful. I don't believe in hunting down animals I never have. I'm an animal lover myself and I feel your pain. I wish I had a six left to give you.

A beautiful capture of a beautiful animal. A heartbreaking story, for sure. I am sorry that he is lost to you and to the earth. Your image is sharp and the soft light is lovely. So sad. :(

Oh no! This is so sad LeeAnn! It gives me chills, I am so very sorry to read this ! I know that there are a lot of hunters, but there is no way I could ever be a hunter, my husband isn't either.
You have photographed this very special buck so very well, it's such a wonderful pose of him laying on the fallen leaves and looking back over his shoulders.
Spot on focus, this image is clear, exposure is correct, his colors and tones appear natural.
Well defined detail over every part of him. It's a beautiful autumn setting and what a wonderful way to remember Bullseye!
Well composed and presented! Very best wishes to you in this contest!
