Nice image....the symmetrical nibbling action looks interesting...also the frame of the fawn between the antlers gives an interesting feel...would have liked more space at the bottom.

Nice enviornment photograph. It would have been good if there was some more light on the face of the stag. Nice symmetry between the mother and calf. A little more space for the face of the fawn between the antlers, would have enhanced the photograph further.

Bibhav,
I agree with Murugan regarding the same action of mother and fawn. However, you tried to show it frame it through the antlers of the stag in the foreground. It draws attention to the fawn and the mother is left out. So I think this image would have been better without the stag in the foreground.

I would have a liked it more if you would have tried this with only one deer. This is framing idea is worth trying again.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Agree about the symmetery. I also feel that this image needs an increase in levels and in shapening.

Hi Apana,
The raw images were sharp. I had exported them to 1024 sized imaged and then resized them to 800. that is probably where I lost detail in most images...

Bibhav, you need to re-sharpen before you do the Save for Web thingy.
