Handsome looking buck, he looks like a cool dude in that light.
I see Canon is also prone to the dark splodgey background, now i see it in someone else's image it makes me a little more accepting. I think I would be tempted to reduce the noise selectively on the background to remove the graininess where the dark greens meet the blacks and yellows.

The key to this shot for me is the light on the antlers which is beautiful. Therefore, if pixels allow, I'd go in a little tighter from the bottom of the frame, lower the BG highlights and maybe open up the shaded side of the face a touch.
Certainly a handsome chap and a great look at him 'down the barrel'

Steve "curves via saturation" I don't understand... is this a curves layer and a saturation layer adjusting one then the other to get the desired effect or is it a curves color layer - if so what is that?

Sorry Jon, because I'm on auto pilot I just write, but basically as I grew up with PS from then early 90's, I use the old ways of Alpha channels, Image > Calculation etc where I can make up non distinctive adjustments from RGB channels, you I think use more modern ways or Actions, but I can tailor aspects with the adjustment like saturation, levels etc...
Yes, a bit complicated for John I think at this stage, but achievable if he has time to explore.
