Beautiful light. I think you could have done w/o the deer on the left because it throws off the composition IMO due to being too close to the edge.

Would be nearly perfect if not for the deer on the left. Might also want to see the black levels pulled up just a bit for a bit more contrast. Still, a very nice capture. Lovely depth and moody light.

Most of the superlatives have been used up, but this is very nice. Great mood enhanced with steam. Well done!!!

Great setting & beautiful light, it certainly has dream qualities !
I don't have any problem with left deer but the tree seems to divide frame into two.

Hi Edwin,

While this isn't quite my favorite Edwin Kats shot (because how amazing some of the others have been), this one is very high on my list - very, very nice! Personally I really like the deer on the left - it doesn't necessarily "pop" the way the one on the right does, but it's another tasty little visual treat when the eye does find it!

Beautiful shot - thanks for sharing it with us!

Cheers...

Brad

Super Edwin. I think the left deer provides essential balance given the placement of the tree and overhanging limbs. This is top shelf. Frame it.

What a dreamy photo. The tree canopy and grass create natural framing. The two deers add content and their positions balance the photo.

Absolutely stunnung Edwin! Totally agree with Lon about the deer on the left balancing the image. It does the same for me visually.

This is obviously a fantastic shot, great how both deer look in your direction at the same time, love the light, colours, etc. etc...
