Who doesn’t love a picture of a fawn? This one works well for me with a very nice pose and low camera angle. Wonderful detail! I would consider toning down the brightest part on the mid-ground behind him. And maybe darken the OOF leaves at the bottom? But a wonderful capture in any case!

Wonderful composition, thanks for sharing. I know we can not always choose our backgrounds when the opportunity presents itself. I would remove the branches in the image as best you could. I did a quick edit.
