    Hi John - This is a beautiful silhouette. The simplicity is what makes it and perfect poses on the top of the ridge. There's a slight vignette that I would correct if it were mine and I would also apply some NR to the bg. I'm seeing a fair amount of noise in the upper corners too. Is this ff? I would prefer a sliver more space on the rhs. Nice one.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Magic ..and rinky tinky! I agree a little more canvas on the RHS would improve presentation. There is a little noise but I think that is not a bad thing from my perspective, if the sky was noiseless the deer would look like cut outs and I think the ambiance would be lost..

    HI John -- This is well executed and and loved the silhouettes. Agree with Rachel's suggestions reg noise and some more space on the rhs. But all in all a fine image with beautiful colour of the backdrop.

    TFS !

    Beautiful work and well seen. Nothing I'd change here except to maybe tone down the vignette just a touch but heck, it works well.

    A fine shot John, great colours, and the vignette works nicely. The near identical poses really set the shot off though

    Gorgeous John not much to change for me here love it mate. It's the sharpness of the ridge and deer against the stunning colours of the sky lovely work mate just lovely !! I'm more than a little jealous I've tried often for something similar here.
