Good one. I like the vibrant setting and your image captures the alert and curious pose very well.
The dappled green highlights in the background add an extra little something too.

Hi

excellent shot great foreground nice alert pose from the deer :toast:

Maybe a little off the right hand side ?

These I have found tend to be rather skittish, as they tend to float by at my little owl site, so well done for getting this. As soon as a shot is fired off they go. Agree, nice dappled light and a fraction off the lhs wouldn't hurt. Might remove the highlight on the grass by the hind leg.

Lovely. We don't get these down here so any image is a bit unusual and attractive for me but this really is nice. I have to disagree with Ians suggestion of cropping the LHS unless that was a typo because for me a touch off the right would be my choice.

Thanks very much for the comments so far.Much appreciated.
I agree about taking some off the rhs but when I came to do it (before I posted) I just couldn't remove that little highlighted bit of grass at the edge....Stupid,I know. :biggrin:
