needed more detail. The flame over powers everything in the photo including your model.

I like the idea, but it looks a bit like a snapshot at a school function.

Hi, Greetings from the Critique Club:

Composition: You have followed a general rule of thirds and I can, after studying the image for a bit, see the diagonal from the top left antler/horn down to the other deer, but due to the heavy contrast of the background trees and heavy saturation of the grasses, I found the second deer had escaped me at first. I feel most people would be put off by the back region of the deer being presented first...and I am the first one that would say, ' you can't tell an animal to turn around for a photo' but I wonder if there might have been a more presentable image in this series. Possibly not, which would explain your choice with this image...but it might be something to watch for in the future.

Technical: Your choice of settings was suitable (although I would have gone for a narrower aperture and slower shutter to compensate) but I feel that this was taken at full zoom...hence the deterioration in quality. Your colourings are a little too saturated and whilst I am aware of the limitations of Basic, I feel a little Shadow/Highlight would have helped in the separation of the foreground deer from the rest of the image.

Overall: In summary, I do really like your image, but feel due to circumstances both out of your control (the animals) and in your control (technicalities) this image has let you down in its final result.

Point of focus seems too far forward (on the rump)? Otherwise a nicely captured pic.
