In musical terminology and notation, a fermata means to hold a tone or rest beyond the written value. It is a sustained moment beyond that which the meter or rhythm would normally accommodate.
Incidentally, a fermata is also sometimes known as a "bird's eye".

There is not a word what can say how amazing it is! I love this all! peacock is just...wonderful! So many details! And the head of deer is fantastic! It looks so proudly! I can imagine I will play some sounds of nature and watching it for hours! This picture is talking so much "stories" about some cute forest like from Disney world

The title fits. The fermata arches over the line of music, "Stay a little longer here. Don't rush off too quickly."
With that in mind, the great stag is "The Director".
(How long do we hold the fermata? Until Kathy tells us to move on.)

I really like the realistic creature anatomy and the way you combined it with the fantastic treatment.
Ahh; that rest. Music lessons were a near-lifetime ago.

You know how pretty much everything on DA falls into one of two categories, the sucky MS Paint drawing category and the so good you want to shoot yourself category? This falls very firmly within the latter.

LOL I never thought of dA quite in those terms...but you may just be correct. I don't think I'll ever look at things the same way again XD
