Looking to improve my photography so C&C welcome

1. Taken in evening light with a low sun. White fur over exposed on sun-ward side?

2. Left ear and right hoof clipped, but I haven’t cropped the picture

3. How’s the cropping in this?

Thanks
Eleanor

I really like Bambi in the second one.
The only thing I have against it are the yellow tags in its ear. You can not do anything about it unless you use photoshop and you don’t mind to use it

I agree, haven’t yet got around to learning how to use photoshop. Any recommendations on the best way to go about it?

With regard to Photoshop, most Secondary schools these days run night courses on Photoshop where you can certainly learn the basics. With regard to your photos, I think number three is your best and I really like the composition.

Eleanor the second shot is lovely but agree needs a little more head room,
the tags are easily got rid of in PS. I would zoom in on the area and select
the clone tool selecting the area close to the tag and very carefully click on
the tag bit by bit until you are happy with it. It is not difficult just tedious but
well worth it in the end.
