Thanks for commenting, I thought this would sink into total oblivion w/o a single comment. This just didn't scan well, as the purose of the image was the layers of grasses in fore-, mid-, and background. The slide has a very discernable "paintbrush" effect which, for the life of me, I can't get onto a scan. The deer is just a point to draw the eye into the picture. Oh well, time to move on the the next effort...
Good shot. I agree some croping needed but not much. I would try to keep as much of the darker foreground as possible as this gives it depth. The left side of the photo is open and conveys a sence of freedom.
