GREETINGS FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB

Awww, what a cute scene. You were fortunate to be there and smart to capture "the moment."

Your image was well received by our DPC voters and scored comparatively well because as noted in the comments, along with its delightful charm, it does have a few problems.

I'll suggest one: how shall I put it - this little guy doesn't have any feet. In composition, it frequently is a good idea to include either the whole animal, or take enough off so that it looks like a deliberate crop. Then, the image is a bit busy with the other little guy who is not quite fading into the background and since he's quite 'hot' that takes away from the main attraction.

In experimenting with this very fine image, I did find a fun portrait, just isolating the featured animal's head and shoulders (blurring out the little bit of nose left over from the other animal).

It's just a thought, but frequently I can see more than one crop in my images, and sometimes the first one is not always the one I'll use.

Okay, I'm rambling on here, but this is such a cute image that I'm enjoying looking at it...

I wish you good luck in your future entries in DPC.

Nice warm autumn colours, cute subject matter, good DOF. Light is a tad too harsh.

The clarity & details are excellent. Would have liked the brightness of the 2nd deer to be toned down a little more. 7

Ha, love the tongue sticking out, almost like it's aimed at you!

Great details and lovely colours in this shot, I do think perhaps you've applied sharpening a little heavily as some of what should be soft background details have some sharpish outlines, though that could just be the lens you used.
