Very nice detail in these. thumb To me, the OOF tree in the last one detracts a lot. I think I would have cropped it out even though that would have centered the deer.

As I look at the last picture I agree with you. The reason I left in the tree was because my camera shoots at 3x2 proportions, so the photos naturally come out wide. I always try to keep those proportions when I crop in photoshop so I don't get distortion in the photo (let me know if I don't have to ). For this image, if I cropped out the tree, I would not be able to put the deer in with the 3x2 proportion. Any suggestions? I suppose the most obvious one would be to turn the camera to get a vertical shot instead of the horizontal one for this scenario. Didn't think of that at the time.

Nice ones!
Crop any old way you want to for composition...I try to use a standard print size ratio (5x7...8x10...etc) but vary when needed for composition.

That's a good suggestion - so that you can print easier. I recropped the deer photo (before I read this post). I didn't realize you could do that without distorting the image. It looks like it did not distort the image. It just gave me a smaller picture. Here it is:

I took the liberty of cropping it a bit wider (hope you don't mind). Note that part of the tree still cut across it's back but I cloned it out. The part of the foreground tree above his back is still visible but blends into the background.
Both crops are a major improvement wth jack's being better for printing.
