First, I love the doe. she has a great expression of being in a nice safe place. I think it meets the challenge and I have many sacred spots like this since I'm a wildlife biologist.
As before, I think your shot need to focus more on the resting deer. By cropping out the interfering tree to the left, you eye is not distracted in anyway. I have no problem with the foreground leaves, they add to the the photo as being a quiet hiding/resting spot.
Your colors and shading are perfect.
I hope this helps a bit and you keep the nice shots comming.
I love this shot, the serinity, the peace the DOF, the light is all wonderful. The only thing I would have doen differently is a slightly tighter crop on the top so the deer was highlighted more. An 8
The foreground elements could provide great framing, but somehow it doesn't work in this shot - the out of focus tree seems to clash with the other trees in the scene, all doing their utmost to detract attention from the deer, which I think was your subject
