Always good to see deer in the snow, pity about the fence but not a lot you could do o/w great image

Agree with Paul on the fence, but love the snow!

I wonder if a lower POV would have been better for this one and perhaps you would have had less problems with the fence if you had shot this at F5.6 or F6.3
I hope I'm not sounding too negative Jeff but for me this holds no appeal. The fence has been mentioned but for me the Stag looks bored and the horizontal line running through its antlers from the snow/ background boundary spoils it. Yes, the snow looks nice but then it should enhance the image and not take over it.
I don't know if you were restricted on your viewpoint but perhaps a move to the left would have put the stag against a better background and maybe given some backlighting.
