It is going to be one of those 'Marmite' postings, Ian. I much prefer the first one, which suits the title far better. The second looks a little regimented for my taste.

Now isn't that strange, but I'm sure their is an explanation for it. The second image is favoured with all the subjects looking in the same direction. I feel pulled to the second image too.

I think the composition becomes more balanced in the second shot but there's not much in it - both good shots to be proud of though.

I think the reason the second comp is more popular is because the image is more balanced. The extra space needed to the left on the first shot for the rear facing deer to look into has left the whole composition a bit too central. But, as David mentioned, the title certainly suits the first.

I'm sure you have one with them all looking in the same direction , which would have more appeal to me. Nice image though

I liked the first shot and actually waited for one to turn its head
