John, have you made/tried any of the changes within the LR workflow I suggested, or is this as per you normal workflow?
Like Rachel, I feel having more of the grass as the backdrop would have been better and so moving to your right may have helped??? With regard to the colour, I prefer the OP for overall colour, I find yours Rachel going too Blue in the Greens, but with some simple refinements within the 'colour management' of LR, you can bring a bit more depth back into the coat adding some more depth.

Hey Rachel, Thanks for the critique. The repost you did looks blue and brighter. Did you add more exposure?
-
Hey Steve, I did exactly as you said with my Lightroom workflow in the previous post of mine. Thanks again.

Hi John - No exp adjustments, just tweaked the WB and then the midtones to the buck only with a curves layer.

Sorry John, I'm not that clear on your reply. Are you saying the OP is as per your normal workflow, or that the OP has a change to it within your WF and if so, what did you change, did it help?
-
Hey Steve, sorry about the wording. I changed the camera profile in the OP to neutral. I used your suggestion from the whitetail fawn thread. Where you mentioned creating virtual copies and changing the profile in the camera calibration section of the develop module.

Hi John, the reason for creating a virtual copy is so you will always have the 'original' for comparison and are able to see and note the changes/differences. Do you think it has helped and so you now have a better platform in which to then make the required additional changes i.e. WB, Exposure, Colour etc?
-
Hey Steve, Yes it has helped especially with the color. Thanks again.

John these deer and your field craft are something to behold good for you sir!! Seriously john it's really inspiring watching your images. Genuine wild deer not shot from car windows but stalked on foot have to be up there as hard to get close too subjects,especially if in number.
Two things from a laymanthat honestly grab me even at thumbnail stage. one is pov almost all look like you are looking down like a high seat image ?? (do your deer stalkers use high seats,does this translate?)
second is saturation although I realise this is being worked on with progress it would be wrong for me to overlook this as it really does grab me.
These are minor things John,what is wonderful is your ability and knowledge with these deer. With this skillset you will keep getting images and that means you will continually progress. Please please keep pushing those abilities and posting mate,you have the best advice here to move forwards with . It's really inspiring watching you even though I've had to take a bit of a back seat of late I have been watching John. !!
all the luck

John after posting I kept looking there is an image here(another buck I think?) where you are real low, lying down or prone as we call it. I almost wanted to take back this comment right then. But, maybe because I so often make image from the floor especially the deer here and hares,I got this wrong as I'm so used to that really low view point. Mind what I said about your field craft stands mate,it rocks and truly is inspiring for me.
take care
