She was grazing in the middle of a field during a hot day. This area is near a creek and there are lots of deer.

What an interesting way to arrange a picture.

I'm a little thrown off by the washed out nature of the deer, it really flattens the image a lot, but I like the rest of it... Would it be possible to bring the deer out just a bit by gently nudging the saturation and contrast just of the deer a bit? Especially in the face area... looks very smudgy...

It looks to my eye like you actually shrank the image by around 5-7% and pasted on top... there seems to be some repetition in the border...

I'm feeling a bit mixed on this, but personally, I'd kinda prefer the border be a mask to the effect rather than a carbon copy of the inner edge...

I've been paying a lot more attention to borders lately and this is one of the more interesting ones I've seen lately.

I tried a bump of around +20 to reds saturation and +11 to yellow saturation and it wasn't too bad, but I still wasn't happy with the face of the deer... I wonder if a bit of masking might help the face?

I'll give it a twiddle in a few...

EDIT: How's this?

Nice editing work! Love the composition and colors. I even like that border - very cool.
