I liked the eyes on this Texas doe. The branch across her face is not ideal, but she was in thick cover. I also like her red summer coat. Comments and critiques are welcome.

Jerry, nice job on getting her in focus among the branches! In a way that branch frames her eyes and in a way it distracts. But, I like the way it frames her eyes. Thanks for sharing.

Oh, I LIKE this. The branch really focuses the viewer onto the eyes of this doe. It is not the usual clean portrait, which adds to the photo, IMHO.

I like seeing it peeking through the branches like that! It is so often how they are observed!

Hmm, I understand the dilemma Jerry, yet I also like the image despite the branch. I would suggest to darken the BG selectively by half a stop or so to make the deer stand out better and give it more that dense dark forest feel.
