Long time no see!
This is lovely of the deer, but the background looks a
bit bright and blown in places. I think you’d be OK to
trim it down and keep the main subject on its own.
Totally agree with you on the pic here, I almost didn’t put it up but when I consider just how many photos I actually dump I thought “What the hell…”.
It was tricky getting the settings right when I took that. It was in woodlands which were mostly dark, thus my ISO and exposure compensations were set for such conditions. I happened to catch this deer in a slightly brighter area, and paid for it. Post processing didn’t really help much either. Oh well, that’ll teach me to shoot RAW in the future :)
