Jeff, nice portrait.
A little tight at the top on the antlers. It also seems a little soft, specifically at the eyes. Hard to tell if that's from processing/compression or what though. Did you crop much?

Hey Chuck I did crop to bring the animal a little closer in the image. I shoot in raw and then corel to process the image, and then reduce the size using the microsoft picture manager. Any suggestions on maintaining the sharpness while reducing the image size. I've posted a couple more images resized using corel paint pro. Any feedback is good feedback! I'm "larnin" as I go!

#'s 1 & 2 are real nice portraits. Most importantly, you got catch lights in their eyes.
That adds so much life to photos of animals.
Looks like you caught #3 during mid-blink.
Most images need to be resharpened a tad bit after resizing downward.

I'll just ditto what John and Chuck said. Nice shots.
