Love it. The pure white background with the white snow and frost on the mule deer just screams cold. I also like the minimal colors - just white, brown, and black I think. I like that you can see the eyes and faces on all three of them. Nothing I can think of to suggest for improvement!

I can feel the silence in this one Sandy. Nice directional poses on all three deer and perfect DOF. The white out BG is perfect to make them stand out in the frame. I really like the minimal grass and twigs and the soft cottony sparse snow on the ground. This is such a clean image without messy distractions. Good work.

A cool image full of whites !
I like how it needs a hard look to separate Mule deers !
