Another image using the new HD Pines by Walli/FrankB available at NWDA.  Had to check out that bark detail which is very good.
Additional elements as part of the composition; included are:

•   Population:  Mouse Ear Chickweed by Walli available at NWDA.
•   Population:  Dry Grass Patch. Source unknown.
•   Population:  ND01 Grass Clump V4 by Walli available at NWDA.
•   Population:  Dry Shrub 08 by Walli available at NWDA.
•   Population:  Pine Forest 18 by Walli available at NWDA.
•   Seven individual Hero Rocks by FrankB available at NWDA which is a part of the Stone Pack.
•   The 'Buck' model - thanks to Mark.

Enjoy,

Bob

very good picture, nice animal to. only thing I change is make trees at edge of clear lean in to clear area a small amount. trees seek sun as growing
less flowers makes flowers show more

Thank you. I am very familiar with horticulture as I have studied it for several years and I understand what you are saying - this leaning towards the sun effect is called phototropism. The population of trees were set with some tilt angle at X and Z. This is not so noticeable since the POV is closer to the ground and relatively close to the trees.

I like the number of flowers showing.

Very nice, Bob. I really like the vegetation and light. There's one thing; it seems the buck is frightened by something, perhaps on purpose, it's angle suggests a 'hold back' (?). And it's a pity the antlers and head are just in front of that tree.

the buck is startled because Bob has him in his crosshairs!!!
great stuff Bob, if the antlers were in view a bit more as Ulco said, this would be perfect (imho)
cheers

Thank you Ulco, placement of the Buck was initially done with the slope of the terrain in mind. Visualize his backbone and you'll see it is about parallel with the uphill slope of the ground. Secondly, was thought to the figure's placement for good balance; i.e., 2/3 up and 1/3 over. Agree about the antlers - tried other positions; but, this one felt as the overall best.

Oh Jason, I never would shoot Bambi! Thanks you for your comments. I enjoyed making this one from the start.
