Picture taken in the Pheonix Park, Dublin on Sunday morning. The park has had wild dear as residents since the creation of the park a few hundred years ago for hunting by the British royals I belive.

The image is too much in the center of the frame, which makes it somewhat boring to look at. The animals are not in very good focus either. Better luck next challenge. 4
Nice looking animals... The woods in the background are great, and the light and shadows give it great depth. However, to be honest, the animals seem very flat and without depth or life (telephoto lens?). There seems to be no spart in them so as a result, I believe the picture as a whole suffers. Good luck.
The image seems a little static with the center placement of the deer. Shifting them to the left a little could make it a little more dynamic and the direction the deer is viewing would help to lead the eye out of the frame. I like the even lighting and the dark wood behind has an almost spooky feel to it. The image is also a little soft.
