A Little R & R

This buck is enjoying his place in the sun. After a long rutting season, I'm sure he's ready to slow down and catch a few rays. I often see bucks in this spot or nearby. A little later a doe came by and layed down as well. For this photo, I added a bit of warmth thru the white balance, reduced exposure half a stop, added some more contrast, and reduced the blacks to get the histogram away from the left side. Full frame. Comments and critiques are welcome and appreciated.

I think your processing choices were very good for this image and your perspective shows him nicely against the dark background.
