 (If you don't see the image, click here.) The background needs something. I tried to paint rain but failed miserably. So go ahead and suggest anything other than that.  (Unless you have an excellent reference for me!) |

Crosshairs would be more fitting. Srsnow I suck at bg's so I wouldn't know, but where you highlighted the dear, you might want to lighten the outline. Hard to explain. I like the structure of the doe. |

Your comment has inspired me to make it not look like a headlight. Boom http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/56/tapda.jpgWent ahead with the rain anyway, so I hope it looks believable. Also added texture to the bg. Still not done though... |

Thanks to Sirus's comment, I can't help but see the truck in the background. xD I think a forrest would look pretty in the back ground. Also, I think the light is too bright.

Personally, I think the ears are to sharp against the background as a silhouette. Perhaps a something to make it blend in a bit more? Unless that was what you were going for.

Okay, I darkened the light and used a stock photo for the forest (sooo lazy v_v). Although the forest totally completes the background, I was originally going for something more surreal. Idk, still thinking about it, I may change it. But thanks for the suggestions Fire!  Personally, I think the ears are to sharp against the background as a silhouette. Perhaps a something to make it blend in a bit more? Unless that was what you were going for.
Well I do want the deer to be in focus, but I can see what you mean about the sharpness, so I softened the whole silhouette a little. looks better, though try blending the rain a bit.
Done--at least I hope I did it right. More suggestions are encouraged if y'all have anymore.  |

It looks good, Lera! The light now looks like its coming from above instead of from afar and it doesn't give the impression that a truck is going to hit it! The rain effect looks more realistic too. I like it!  |

Haha, I just realized something.
I was looking at it as if It was looking back at me, just its features shrouded in darkness..
Its supposed to be looking at the light, isn't it?

Y'all can decide which way it's facing. :O And thanks for all the comments... Right now I'm trying to put it in the middle of a street with headlights approaching, just to satisfy Sirus. |
