Comment by ShutterPug:
I really like this. Perfect DOF, it really separates the subject from the background. The off centering of the mules in the composition is a good choice. Focus is good too.

This is a nice shot of the deer. The backdrop of the mountains really set the deer off in this image.
I hate to tell you this but the deer on the left is a Mule Deer. Most likely the other one is as well. Mulies have antlers that split off in 'Y's' off of the main beam of the antler. White tails have one main beam with spikes off of it. Some variations occur within this general rule, but it's the easiest way to identify the two species.
