I had edited it normally first and enhanced it on the iPad with 100 Photos in 1 by Trey Ratcliff. I opened it in Photoshop and did a little dodging and burning and I used Topaz Clean at a low amount.

Judy, I think the way you direct the viewer's eye right to the deer is really well done.

Julie, this is a beautiful image...and well processed with that soft, almost glowing, painterly effect. If it were mine I'd try to open up the shadows a bit more, particularly on the chest and right foreleg of the deer...I love the lilies and lily pads and the way they are rendered....nice, warm lighting....well done!
Thanks Catherine!
Thanks John! I tried to open the shadows in Photoshop but it didn't work. There is no control in the app to do that as brightness is global. "It is what it is!"
I had an idea! I had saved a lighter version which wasn't nearly as nice but I layered them and revealed the lighter chest. Not much improvement but a little more detail shows up.
Great shot! How did you get it? How perfect is that--deer and water lilies!! I love the light in this image. Glowing, focusing on just the right areas. Lovely work!!!
Judy,
From the title, I was thinking you had a lily eating a deer, like a fly eating flytrap.
Nice job,
Steve
Judy, the repost is definitely an improvement! Nice job!
Thanks Anita! I was at an overlook which is up about 20 or 30 ft above the water area at Noxubee Refuge with my 7D and 100 - 400 mm lens and the deer approached the water from the land behind and didn't pay much attention to me as I was very still. She was a long way off, like 300 ft give or take, I'm not good at estimating distances. That camera is unbelievable!!! I never got sharp, contrasty detailed images from that far with the 50D. I was shooting hand-held but I propped my elbows on the railing.
Very nice image and application, Judy.
Like the lighting as others have...![]()
Thanks Steve!
Hi Judy, really like the image - especially the dappled light. The added black detail of the repost looks better to me. Super effect that is different and interesting. Well done!

Judy, Very cool capture. I like the processing and your repost is nice! I might tone down the flower in the front just a bit to keep your eye on the deer. Nice job!!![]()
Excellent composition, Judy. Like the colors and filtered light. Nice work on the repost.
Thanks Mark, Kerry, Denise and Indranil!
