Nice photo Doron. Good use of shallow DOF and nice exposure/colors, etc. I think the panoramic design is a little too much for me. I wish it had more room top and bottom. Nice shot.

Hi Doron,
I particularly like the light and colours in this shot and also the wonderful mood. You have caught a great moment of interaction between the girl and the deer. Good composition and sharpness too.
Regards

A lovely shot, both for the subject matter and the crispness of the colors, and the composition. I would have preferred it if you hadn't cut off the top of her head, which I something I do all the time myself. The background is nicely blurred while the foreground is perfect.

It also brings back memories of when I was in Nara and this deer kept following me around wanting my snack.

Really well-done close-up. Elegant, long neck of the animal so perfectly matches with calm and cheerful Japanese girl's face. Brilliant colours! Visited Japan once I have enormous senstiment toward the country, nice to see the glimpse from there!
with regards, Agnieszka

Hello Doron,
I didn't know about the fact that the deer are allowed to roam free in Nara. It has permitted you to capture a very beautiful photo. And I mean it. There is such a peaceful feel in this photo... a real treat for my eyes, no doubt...
Your photo is a very valuable one, in my opinion. There is not only peacefulness, but also grace and warmth. Your crop is excellent and your framing perfect. I like the panorama style you applied.
Colors are good too, maybe a little too red for the skin tones. I also wonder if the shirt was white in the first place, and if the blue/red cast was due to the shadow. If so, you can work it out with a good PP program. I also wonder about the small halo around the antlers. During the sharpening process maybe? I don't know.
Let me tell you something. Though I am nitpicking a bit here, it is because your photo is worthing my time to look at it carefully and speaks my mind. It is a great photo in its most noble sense.
