Hi Tom Works in a big way and love the feel !!! Framing with oof grass looks great I'm fine with the rear animal not totally visible since it obviously giving mom a kiss :) Sweet image ! Powerful eye contact !!!
Hi Tom, nice to see a break from a square format, works well and a tender moment too. ;)
For me Tom the image looks flat and just needs a slight push. It's all there, but wonder if this is more in keeping? Again slight tweak in Curves & Levels with some additional USM. If your unhappy Tom, will delete, but think this is more the right direction.

lovely image.. good repost by steve
A nice moment captured. I like the soft, hazy light. The drawback to that is that the flatness that someone else mentioned.
I would selectively create more contrast within the image to pull the subjects away from the background. I used a
curves adjustment layer to dim the background and some of the foreground, another to brighten the animals. I also
cropped a little off the right and bottom, since it isn't really a habitat shot (owing to the shallow DoF, which works great for me).

Hi Tom,
I like the tender moment captured. The rim lighting around the ears is nice. Eye contact is good. You can play around with the contrast as per taste. Overall, a nice shot. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,

Excellent re posts and great call on the contrast Steve !!
Very nice moment between the deer. Really like the OOF vegetation in the foreground.
