I love the "in your face" with the baby just showing behind. It has both the protecting factor and the "oh crap" factor. I recently had that oh crap moment in the woods when a rutting deer chased a doe past me. I thought it had followed but it was below a ridge and came up just like this in front of me. If it came at me, I was screwed so I took a photo.

I played around with this one because it is a bad snowstorm now and I just bought the Topaz AI to figure out.

In the meantime this was that deer.

I guess a temporary Flickr shot will due.

I straightened the windows, and used transform to pull the top left corner up and out so the building lines are straight. a few sliders, a bit of sharpen and stuff to differentiate the animal. Still working on my new work flow with new tools. I can already see I should have brought the baby out more too.

I also cropped in because of the bright stone in the bottom right and to place that post there while leaving a bit of the driftwood as I love the front and middle foreground features. It also put the subject more front and center but needed a slightly different aspect ration for that.

Thanks for all the entries in this weeks challenge. I admit it was a difficult image to work with but there were many good entries. The winning entry is from mariwalt. I was hoping someone could clear up the busy background and mariwalt did just that. For second place, I chose tuggie76 and third place goes to noelcmn for the colored image.

So it's on to mariwalt to host the next challenge.
