Ok. So I have a very happy score going in this challenge -- so I thought I'd have some fun and guess which photos were going to be my greatest competition. There are 6 photos that worry me greatly. There's something so compelling in the softness of the shot. Wonderful capture! I'm not voting in this competition, but this would have been a 9. Good luck!!
I like the composition, crop, and colors of this photo. I'm definitely not liking what appears to be the post processing that is smoothing out chunks of fur and removing the nice details it seems you had.
I feel the processing on the deer ruins the photo. I don't care for the plastic look that they have. Some different processing could have made this a very dramatic photograph.
