Nice alert pose, and I think standing next to the taller brush adds to the effect.

Nice comp, Floyd. The over the shoulder look works nicely, and the depth is just right.

Hi Floyd,

I really like the colour palette and soft lighting here. I like "simple" (or "clean") images so this instantly works quite well for me. I find this image very calming. Nicely done.

I'm a bit torn by the small white flowers in the scene - particularly in the OOF band on the bottom third of the frame (by this I mean I don't really know if they contribute or take away a little from the shot). But they're certainly not a deal-breaker.

Cheers...

Brad

Beautiful, Floyd! Love the tones and colour palette throughout, and I personally like this quartering-away-from-you pose the doe is giving. Beautiful blend of textures and bokeh, and perfect detail in the subject. Outstanding!
