Robert,
Lovely image! Beautiful, crisp and sharp!
I love how you played the DOF here, But I have small dislike...
I love the colors, and the dock playing a role here. My dislike is the DOF on the left side of the photo. I belive it would look better if the first part of the dock was in focus. I see a large blur taking up a large proportion of your photograph. My eye wants to follow up the dock, it's just natural for me... I look where I walk. The blur makes me feel lost and confused. I love the background focus, it is Perfect!! Beautifully done.
It's just the way the DOF created an "L" shape of the dock. I would have loved to see more of that white railings. I expect photos to have a flat plane of focus.
Keep up the wonderful work! I love the colors, the setup... infact everything! But the "L" shaped DOF. It's just my personal preference.
Thanks for sharing this with us! Wish you well!

Hello Earl,
Welcome to the new exciting world of Nikon D70! You sure have made a wonderful selection. I, myself, truly love the D70... well mine is the D70s, but it is the same thing. : )
This is a lovely catch of a deer! Too bad in my personal experience with deers. I always see them running away before I can even point my camera at them. Maybe I should tiptoe and I walk through the woods. ; )
This is a great catch, but it's just disapointing that it is over exposed. The exposure made this photo look really washed out and plain. I thought I could show you what you can do to correct it up a little. Just help smooth out the "plainess" of the photo. I adjusted the contrast, and the colors to bring out the colors of the grass and the fence. Then I added a blue sky to help balance the "fresh" mood of the photo.
This is all I could do for now. I hope someone would step in and point out other tricks they can lay on this photo. The photo still feels like there is something missing.
I hope this helps you out. I really hope help restore this beautiful catch of the deer.
Good luck!
