Floyd,
The colours in this are very complimentary to the overall scene. On my monitor it looks as though it may need a little more selective sharpening around the muzzle, I would also try to place the subject a little more off the centre, by cropping from the left.

Hello Floyd
Well done with a very pleasing setting. Maybe try to get him off centre a bit if you had and room.

Hi Floyd,
As others have mentioned the colours are nice here and this angle gives a good view of the antlers. I'm in agreement with their comments about the shot being perhaps a little too dead-centred. I'm also wondering why this is being presented with a pano crop? I don't see how anything in the shot really says "pano" (not sure if it's cropped mostly on top or bottom to produce the pano, but if the crop is off the top I'd bring it back - those OOF trees add "sense of place" more than they distract).
Cheers...
Brad
