Oh, I don't know, anything you want as I'm out of inspiration for a title. I've listened to your advice on previous posts and added quite a bit of exposure to this image. Does this seem about right? I also added contrast to get the doe's head to separate better from the BG. Better, but a clean BG would be nice. I also cut down on the highlights and whites and added a little warmth and clarity to the image. I hope you like it. Your comments and critiques would be helpful for me to improve.

Peter, I had to laugh reading your description. You sound exasperated. This is a much better image in terms of light. It is not as flat. That's for sure. You even have some side glow on the deer's face. Nice.

I like what you have done to improve the image. Still, the BG is very busy. If you could have moved to your right would you have been able to place the doe in the more open area to the left in the BG? I know a lot of the time you risk loosing the photo if you move too much. Thanks for sharing.

Lighting feels much nicer and I agree that the touch of light kissing the side of her face is a nice enhancement.
