Steve, I love your composition. The deer is exposed properly but looks to be overly sharpened on the back part of his hide. I think the BG is nice - it is certainly indicitive of his environment, but it appears a bit over-exposed. Tone down the grass and drop the sharpening down and I think you've got a very nice image!

I agree it is a nice image with good exposure of the deer. I would select the deer and darken the BG.

Thank you both for the comments and suggestions.
