This was originally a throw away, boring picture. The lighting was harsh, the deer was smack dab in the middle of the frame from quite a distance, and was slightly out of focus as well. But I tried something different. I cropped the frame heavily, then using nik silver efex converted to black and white and pushed the grain to the max, then tinted the image. I rarely manipulate my images to this extreme, but in this case I liked the result quite a bit.
