View from the top of Hurricane Ridge, Olympic N.P. Liked how the mulie in velvet came wandering among the lupine in a meadow above the clouds.

Plain awesome!. It's a nice mix of cool colors and lines, but the deer makes it special.

Lovely scene, and the deer makes it work. You might consider darkening the blues just a bit; especially the slope in the background. A slight punch-up in contrast by pulling down the darks a bit would like nice, as well.
