    Bobby,

    This is just way zoomed out for me. It's too hard to tell it's a deer, and the vast green foliage just isn't working for me. EIther a tight crop or a closer zoomed in shot would be better.

    Just me,

    Jared

    Yes, some female deer to grow antlers, depending on the species.

    I think Jared said it pretty good. This needs a much tighter crop. Had you not said what it was, I wouldn't be able to tell you for sure that it's a deer.

    Hi Bobby,
    How are you doing? Is the weather alright in Ireland? Back to the picture, It gives a sense that the aniaml is only a small part in her habitat. I suggest to convert the shot into B&W and the animal would blend into the surroundings to deliver a camelon effect.
