Bambi as an adult

Meets the challenge. (I do believe there was a Bambi II, though not sure what age he was supposed to be then. Close enough eh...)

Focus is good. Depth of field could have been better, blurring the background through a shallow depth of field could have helped with background distractions.

The biggest problem I see is that the image comes across as over exposed. The sunlit surfaces of the antlers, and the area between the eyes look burned out and devoid of any detail. The colors of the grass come across as washed out and pale. A bit less exposure, about one or two f-stops would have given you more color and vibrance to your picture.

I'm not a rule of thirds purist, but I have to agree that a little less centered subject would have improved this picture. (Sometimes the deer just don't sit where you want them.)

glare/reflection in the middle of the tree is distracting

Shame that the lens flare is there but otherwise a nice image, good detail.

Unfortunately, the first thing I see is the flare in the tree. The sun is overpowering to make a pleasing image. Yes the challenge is met but two big detracting things. 4.

Trees lend themselves to being photographed as silhouettes especially at sunrise and subset. I wonder if this one would have been better photographed in early morning light? The lens flare is a bit distracting.
