All looks a bit soft and a tad dark to me John.

Hi John good to see your options in the deer section , i am happy for you .
I do like the overall look of the frame with the deer in the sea of dry weeds , very nice to have all the same color range ...well almost .
Difficult to find a decent crop with this sort of portrait , so i will not make any suggestion on framing .
Color / tones are looking quite good to me , but understand what Steve is thinking . A matter of taste .... at times .

Hello John,
You have been extremely lucky lately, with those White-tail buck sightings - thank you for sharing them with us:)
My thoughts on framing, I would try crop a tad from the bottom. Or maybe add a faint vignette - this is something I don't usually do, but in this case I would like to soften the busy FG.
Colours overall look good. But blacks are a bit strong and give the subject a slightly crunchy appearance (I am now referring to the subject's ears, eyes and nose).
I like the attentive pose and ears pointing forward, what was he looking at? Also been wondering if there are any predators that threaten this species in the Park:tinysmile_shy_t:
Hope you have a wonderful Festive Season, and that we see more from you in the New Year - thank you for your contribution to this Forum, it is much appreciated:5
Kind regards,
