Very nice, I particularly like how the animals stand out, but without being too evident; it is very equilibrated, in my humble opinion.
The post-processing is perhaps a bit too strong for my tastes, however.

Very nice shot - are they Fallow?

I love the horizontal layers in this, green grass, rushes, then 2 more darker layers as you go up.  Did you try cropping more off the left?

Lovely, Dwayne.  Those deer take direction well.  :)

I love the processing.  Appropriate, understated and beautiful.

I wouldn't crop anywhere.

I love this one. The colors are strong but with the "fuzzy" glow, for me, they are OK.
Well done Dwayne!

Dwayne's technique in the hands of a lesser photographer would just produce mush. He makes it really work, IMHO.
