Thanks for the input....see I rather like the softness of it for some reason; for me it works with the image and the light in this shot. I appreciate the input tho'.

Btw, this deer wasn't far away from me at all...they are not very afraid of people. I took it at the Inglewood bird Sanctuary, which I'm thinking they should start calling the Inglewood Deer Sanctuary as I didn't see any birds, but the deer where everywhere and quite used to humans!
