I just don't understand how any hunter can see this beauty and kill it....unless you are a First Nation (what a dopey PC title). ooops I'm rambling. I love this shot, the Canadian feel to it and the focal point sharp, so sharp it melts my heart. Your exposure is really well done too for that deer is crystal clear.

Only a photographic artist could capture the beauty in this die. Have you considered a tighter crop?

Knock! Knock!

Who’s there?

Ho-ho.

Ho-ho who?

You know, your Santa impression could use a little work

Nice and sharp on the focal point and I like the colour palette too.

Yes, two thumbs up for this shot. I bet if you turned it into a b.w. high contrast it would work also...it would be fun to try. I like everything about this...from the warm colour to the details on the door to the "thou shalt not enter" feel. Just a good catch.

thanks still for the good comments
