Hi Nancy - nice detail and color with the wildflowers and open mouth really adding to the image. DOF works well for me too. Perhaps back off on the sharpening just slightly. Overall, well done.
Hi Nancy ,
agree with Rachel about detail and color, like to add the good comp but would go if you have it with more room below the legs for the virtual feet.
The angle of the deer facing downwards looks a bit odd, but i think the deer was moving down a slope, right ?!
The combination of the colors ,yellow and red makes this working nicely.
But i would reduced the blues really a lot and slightly the reds in the fur.
Not sure about the blacks , would try to reduce them and see how it looks .
Thanks Rachel & Andreas. Yes, the doe is moving downslope. I also thought more space at the bottom would be good, but I do not have it. Rachel, you confirmed what I thought about the deer being a bit too sharp. Can take care of that. I really appreciate all the color suggestions as now I cannot see the issues until someone calls them to my attention.
A nice moment, Nancy. Your OP had a lot of "snootiness" and a bit too much contrast, which your RP has sorted out nicely.
Colour is also better now, though I still see a bit of magenta coming through in the darker parts of the antelope?
Oh Nancy, he's very cute, this little one indulging in those sweet flowers Looking forward to your RP with Morkel's suggestions, I too see quite a bit of Magenta on the back , ears , and above the nose of the deer. Lovely capture Nancy!!!
