Bit bright for me particularly around the face
You sure that watermark is intrusive enough John???
Very nice image! He looks mean and I don't fancy myself up against those antlers!!
How close were you?
Think I'll reduce the size of the watermark a little, it is a bit intrusive in this shot...
He did look a bit mean and like you I wouldn't fancy tussling with those antlers.
I was using a 150-500 Sigma lens and would estimate around 50ft away when the shot was taken!
Thanks for taking the time to comment Phil

Sigma 150-500mm!?!?
Interested to know exigent details here, the shot is very detailed...
I'm no expert at PP myself John, but I'd reduce the highlights a bit and increase the shadows.
Deer (1 of 1)
Great shot by the way
The edit looks much better and with a more natural looking colour - the original seemed to have a slight pink caste to it. Have you cropped it at all as the deer is a bit tight and central in the frame and needs more room on the left for the animal to look into

Nice composition and eye contact. And antlers of course!
Here comes the critique bit....
Not sure if it's the JPG compression at fault here, but that bokeh is migraine-inducing. Remember something similar from my stabilised Nikons, wonder if it's something to do with the stabilising? Not much the photographer can do about it anyway.
