    Hi John, nice light and for once you managed to get some decent SS too, well done, techs look good. Colour portrays a nice Winters day and the blue in the snow is reflective of the scene. Being a bit more side on would have helped and if the Deers head was more up and alert rather than just a head turn. The head does look a bit soft, just remember the body being at an angle you may require more DoF. The branch top right and some laden branches with snow is a bit distracting I feel, others may think not, but either cloning out or reducing their appearance I feel does help. I think you could also loose a bit off the RHS.

    Hi John - Glad you finally got some good light and conditions. Steve's rp has taken this up a notch. The only other thing I would suggest is a little ccw rotation looking at the legs and the bg.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi John, nice image of a Whitetail Deer. I agrees with Rachel that Steve's repost is better. Thank you for sharing.

    John looks good I lkke the tones and colours. Steve's crop crop & patch/clone is minimal but it makes a significant difference.
