That looks like a painting! Very nice photo.

That's an awesome shot Ron, and the post-processing
work is superb!

Did you make any changes that would give it a 3D effect?
Looking at that front doe standing there with the hills in
the background ... wow.

It looks like one of those diorama's in a museum. Very 3D looking. Gary

Thanks Mike!...No changes intentionally in post processing. This was taken at 17mm and F/10 with a 17/40mm lens and a full frame camera...I've been learning DSLR camera trapping and this is one where I've been trying to get a picture of a mountain lion in the area...I have a modified pelican case with a piece of sewer pipe for the lens, and an ND filter epoxied on the end of the pipe for a window..It makes a weatherproof container for the DSLR camera inside. I use a motion sensor to trigger the camera and two off camera flashes.

I may try to post pics of the setup sometime.

I had to google that to see what it is. Thank You!

The two off camera flashes did their job well, as the forefront of the
image shows their effect. Great technique, but doubtful that I'd put
my D90 outside..all I got and too much to risk. With my luck, a
local bear would stop by and drop a deuce on it...

I've been wanting to get a couple game cams, and set them up
to watch over a fake trap set-up. I'll build a cubby and then bait
it, but there's no trap involved, just the camera. I'm sure we have
a good population of bobcat locally, and hopefully I'll snag a few
candid shots.

The camera I'm using is Canon 5D III. I started having auto focus problems with it about three years ago. I didn't want to send it to Canon and have it repaired, and didn't want to offer it for sale in that condition, so it just sat collecting dust. I started studying about DSLR camera trapping recently and it's strictly manual focus anyway because at night the camera can't auto focus. So I dusted it off and began learning this new hobby. I'm putting together a 2nd camera trap right now using an older Canon Rebel...Only setting on private property where I have permission.
Yes from what I've read, bears can cause major problems with the cameras....I lived in Western Oregon and trapped lots of bobcats years ago. I think your area is similar..From what I have read this kind of photography requires thinking like a fur trapper and landscape photographer combined.
