Honestly, I'd think about just doing an interesting crop almost through the middle of the fawn's head...and just crop this small headshot, getting a good look at those pretty eyes. All the blurred space of Mama does bother me. Sorry. this looks like a great pair. I hope, you got more shots of each one of them. :frown:

I really like the selective focus here and the story it tells. Nice work

The fawn is beautiful. I do agree with Lucy's suggestion to do some cropping: The little one is star of the show, here. The sharpness and color of the fawn look nice.
