We've been working a lot on landscaping the past few years and my wife absolutely hates the mud and the deer eating her plants, so I wanted to capture that in a hoof print. I thought the swirls and tree reflections were pretty cool, but when I went to black and white and bumped up the contrast it looks really evil to me.
Deer...they eat my plants every year and they are only multiplying...so I share your wife's hatred for the tick transporters...unusual image, are we looking at it almost upside down?
