Wow, this is a great manipulation Andy! The idea works so well with what the buck is oding...sending out vibes to the doe that he is 'hot'~~~I looked at your original iamge and this works much better for me. I like the effect of the blue lighting. I think it does add a lot of realism to the image. Kudo's to you & Russ both......I am impressed. Thanks :~)

What a terrific imagination you have to think of this. The blending is perfect, it’s a truly inspiring image.

Wow, very cool...great blending....it has a very convincing look to it...it would make a great advertising logo.:Pat.

This looks better Andy. Is there any way to do the lightning without the sharp angles? Real lightning is more fluid. It's still a good image idea. Good job. You have my vote.

Excellent rework! I like this. An idea that popped into my mind when I saw this was a tall vertical format painting - low horizon and deer mostly silouetted against a galaxy and star filled sky - and the power shooting through the sky from the antlers. Crazy idea?

Fantastic manipulation. I went & looked at your first attempt & this one is so much better. Love that lightning, of course, but I really like the way you lit the whole area surrounding the buck. Excellant work & you should be very proud. You worked hard & it shows.
Happy Halloween !

I hadn't even seen the first. I'm soooooo far behind but this one "struck" me as I came in here today. Odd too because I was actually working with that image some this morning and was only going to contact Russ if I came up with anything. lol Something about that deer and stance is so unique. I'll let you take over from here though. ;) Very cool. And yes, a nice improvement from the first one. More surreal and better blended.

Much better...also much more realistic...looking at your gallery has inspired me to do so much more...I never knew that manipulations could come out looking as good as the images in your gallery....just a great job again.

Great Idea having lightning shooting out of the bucks antlers. It's my new wallpaper.

Awsome job...love the effects....

my new image "the joy of childhood" and breezeartgallery

Very cool, but I'm still not sure if I prefer this over the original. I liked the warmer, natural colors of the first one....Sorry! Still a great image though!...=]

The blue overtone really adds to the surrealism of this image. The lightning is very well done. Great manipulation.

this is even better then the last, and even then it was great.. The blue is a nice touch. But all in all it is a very unique idea, definetley a 10.. Exquisite work.
Peace:)

wow thats really cool dude!! great job!

A beautiful idea. The original seemed to have a mystical, calling air to it and you've played off that well.

Wow Awsome idea. It is very mystical and it will get a very high rating. Good Job!

brillaint,even my grandson agrees10/10
HAPPY CHRISTMAS

this is quite ossibly my most favorite picture ever. i hate deer (i totaled my 2001 nissan sentra cuz i hit a 12 point buck *mourns*) but this is so amazing! you took such an ordinary animal and made it a total piece of art. simply brilliant.

.....right on!!!! this buck (buck buck buck chiken) is awesome. ;O)

nice lighting.

brilliant, i love the way the antlers mix with the lightning.

Just a 10 :)

Oh I just love this! Fits my personality...(my artist name means lightning bolt ^_^) Great work! 10/10

Outstanding rework and edit!
Its fab !

I immediately downloaded this..wonderful manipulation. Love the lightening and all the colors of the antlers. Actually, a purple deer does'nt look too bad! Like whatever you did to the grass..looks fantastic. 10s for sure...

Awesome!

Love it, absolutely love it.

Hi Andy, just found this...and like 'Proteus' I had to have it. It's awesome...thanks...Tony.

THATS COOL!

What a great picture!!!! I love it. Keep up the good work

you keep suprising me with your abstracts this is haunting its stunning, @ATEN@

Pure bunk!

This picture belongs in a frame in lots of houses of hunters ;)

Amazing work: sometimes when I think I have seen so much of the work on Caedes, they blow my mind displaying awesome work I have missed....and this is one.

10/10.

This is wicked awesome!

I was out doing errands the other day and saw this image on the back of a pickup. It's not cool for a manipulation of my original image to be sold for profit.
