I am loving your fawn series Dave. The only thing I would work on would be to tone down the bright whites in this one. I would try to do that in the PS Raw File by dragging the Highlights and Whites Bars into the negative side. You could counter any influence that has on the darker areas by dragging the Shadows and Blacks into the plus areas. I have no issue with the stick at all, it is part of the environment here. I also really like the heads down pose that shows some wariness on the fawn’s part.
