I hate deer shots, but this is wonderful. The intruding vegetation just makes the photo *more* intimate because I feel I am peeking in on something private. It is indeed a tender moment, a Madonna Lactans. But that's not all: the composition is very energetic and fascinating for purely visual reasons. I gave this a 7, but really I underrated it. There were a lot of good shots in this challenge.

It's too bad that this wasn't from a different angle, I'm sure you didn't have many options, because this would have been so good without the trees in it.
