Just gorgeous Jack. Not really anything I'd change compositionally. Their is a white line below its chin and those 3 little twigs above the antlers that are a little distracting that I would be tempted to clone out. Such great light on the bucks and in the background.

This is a good portrait pose Jack in nice light. The catch light in the eye also adds a lot. However, the image as presented (especially the larger version) looks as if something is not right. There are some artifacts that could be the result of jpeg compression or over sharpening and also (color) noise.

I love the pose and crop. Interestingly, the larger photo almost has a painted effect to it. Did you apply any filters in PS? Maybe it's just the high ISO.

Hi Vincent,
I see what you mean, but I have checked the image in raw and the red is there. I hope that you might have some ideas.

hey Jack
Cool - the overshot look of the jaw is unusual.
I've often had a hard time using AF on whitetail deer in this light ... they often look “weird” afterward.
I've no idea why.
The whisker is fine, to me. The inclusion of the tree trunks/branches is important - it would have that deer head on a wall look otherwise.
Cheers
Carl

My only wish is for him to not have that broken tine on his right antler! Good capture!

It is difficult to come with suggestions without having seen the RAW or even the TIFF to see what went wrong. Maybe try a new conversion?
