That time of year again, about time too, snow soon then :) Lovely shot, nice light, gorgeous setting. Might be tempted to tone down the deer and the saturation a bit, the large version is somewhat stronger and I prefer the little one.

You need to watch the whites, Oscar. They are beginning to blow on the neck. It should be easy to tone it down a little though. I do like the composition and the mush in the foreground.

Better to blow the whites now than when the action starts in ernest, though it looks to me like you just didn't get up early enough
You may be able to recover some or all or the lost detail by combining the "as-shot" image with a second copy that you under expose in your processing software.

As already mentioned some very good advice given so far re the exposure / processing. As for the shot, I like it, even the mush looks good. Re the comp, I would have given this just a bit more room at the top, but no big deal. Good work, Oscar.
