I like the direct eye contact, setting, and painted effect GK.
The light veg LRC that draws the eye's my only nit.

Nice use of the filters G K. I like the pose and the pattern created by the shrubs on the right hand side in-particular. I do wonder if you could have cloned out that one bright piece of vegetation in the foreground before applying the filter, as it is a little distracting. Overall, this treatment compliments the delicate nature of the doe very nicely

Hey G K,
Well framed subject, sweet colors and the effects you applied work well on this image. The foreground vegetation is not bad once you look at the image a few times, it adds interest to the environment. Man !

Image slightly cropped to offset vegetation. Lr Adjustment Brush to remove hotspot on vegetation. Topaz Labs Simplify-I always brush out painterly effect in the eyes & reduce adaptive exposure between 11 and 20 to tone down effect. The effect is really only seen in a print or 1:1 ratio enlargement. Thanks for comments.

Lovely pose and natural setting. I'd be tempted to tone down the highlights a bit, but in a way, they frame the subject nicely. How about dropping a little catch-light into the eyes?
