White-tailed Deer

Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

I saw these deer at the state park pond earlier this week. They rarely come down to the water’s edge so this was a bit of a treat.

Specific Feedback

I included as much of the reflection as showed before fading into the water’s glare. Any thoughts on overall composition?

Technical Details

Canon R7, 200-800mm, monopod
ISO 6400, f9, 1/1250s

Processed in DXO PureRaw 4 and Photoshop.

I eally liked the first frame with two deers.
I may boost some mid tone contrast.
