Good catch... Over exposed and a bit digitized. A keeper though.

Very cute. I wonder if you will get comments about not having children in your photo. cause technically, these are her children. Don't really matter, it's still a great photo and i have to commend you on getting that close up of a photo of animals. I wonder where these deer are from, for some reason they look a bit different from our deer. Maybe it's just the angle. Who knows. I love the framing on this photo, and the lighting is nice. I like the contrast of the bright grass in the back, and the dark grass in the front. Good job and good luck in the challenge.

Do those count as children? Borderline for me. I like your concept, though. 7 - floyd

This is a great idea and a very cute shot, but there is a flaw… As you have stated in the title, it's a protective mother and although not human, she is still their mother – therefore, the other two must be her children, and they are also in the shot; so I think it breaks the rules of the challenge. I hope that doesn't sound a too pedantic… Apart from that, the picture itself is really good – love the expression on mums face…

Composition, focus, color, all are great. Still I miss some emotion when this picture should relate to childhood.
