Great contrasting BG, details, exposure, and direct eye contact Basri, I like it.
I especially like the emerging antlers in this youngster, gives em' a slightly 'devilish' look

Wow, look at those big black eyes, much larger than the entire muzzle. A face surely worthy of a closeup. The framing is fine as presented, but I think that a vertical including a little more of the upper chest would be nice as well. I'm seeing the strong orange bias in the coat color, similar to the previous post. Are you shooting raw or jpeg Basri? If jpeg, normal or vivid? Would love to get some feedback, this is quite an opportunity to learn for all of us.

Cute subject Basri in a good portrait pose with excellent detail. IMO this would be a more suitable candidate for a vertical presentation though. The nose s OOF due to the shallow DOF, which is not ideal, but I also understand why you shot wide open with that textured BG. Why ISO4000; or is that typo?

Gentlemen, thank you very much indeed for your critics and comments.
Gary, I always shot raw, but I try Jpeg vivid. The orange bias due to Photoshop application, I'm still not good enough at photoshop.
Vincent, ISO 4000 is not typo, object was into the dark forest shadowed area and ears was moving fast.
To get the higher shutter speed I used this Iso level.
Ones again thank you very much for your constructive critics.
