Out early yesterday morning, I came upon this pair of fawns resting beneath a large oak. Didn't see mom but I'll bet she was nearby. My wife thought they were really cute which means "you should post that."
I removed a large hanging branch which was a distraction then just fiddled with the sliders until I got what I thought best looked like the scene I saw. Comments and critiques most welcome.

This photo definitely has the "ahhhhh how cute" factor. You might increase the contrast a little and selectively sharpen the fawn on the left a little more. The heavy trunk on the right side helps to emphasize the small size and vulnerability of the fawns.

Nice title for a pleasing image. I agree with Gary, you may wish to play with the contrast and see if you can add a little more pop to the fawns. Well done.

Hi Peter, recently I saw similar photo somewhere else, my comment was "excellent deer snapshot, very cute photo". I can repeat it here. You have captured these small deer very well, I'm surprised about the quality considering use of only 200mm lens. The focus is excellent and the BG blur control very good. I like the nice soft feel of this photo, increased contrast would damage this "feel" .Well done.

Yep, cute. Only wish might be for a clear view of the face on the right, but fine as posted.
