Great shot. Like the combination of deer and bird.
Maybe a little crop at the bottom, but that's a veru minor nit.

Interaction between bird and deer is great but the processing let's the image down. The surroundings are too bright and contrasty and take the attention away from the main subject. Worth re-processing though as it has potential.

Looks like one of last year's calves to me rather than an adult hind (neck too short for an adult). I agree Justin that the PP needs revisiting.
