My first deer shots

No point in C&C on any of these, because you already know about the problems and how to fix them.
It is a nice set, I really like number 2.

Thanks bud.

#2!!! Color, focus, eye contact, bokeh... Nice.

#2 FTW... I always recommend auto ISO for these situations, especially in manual mode. Then you can control the shutter speed and use the aperture you want and just let the camera use the ISO needed. Much less thinking that way...

Auto ISo is like 25000. What to do?

#2!!!!

A monopod will help. Learn and practice techniques to help steady yourself at low shutter speeds.

Great set.

Definately not @coastalconn material

But then who wants to see a dear eviscerating a fish?

Other than what everybody else said about focus, etc, there is yet another issue called color cast and all of your images are snake bit with an overabundance of yellow color cast. I don't always use Time Tucker's color cast removal trick but I do use it each time just to check my in-camera color balance. In your case, knowing there was quite the color cast, I did do the color cast removal and I think you'll agree there is a significant difference in the before and after.

Thank you for the direction. So I had the white balance off in camera? What is that color cast removal trick? I don't use PS or LR but if you explain the way you normally would, I can figure it out in Gimp.

I have no concept of Gimp so not sure. If the image came out of the camera like that, then yes you have an internal color off-balance. I find that using neutral gives the best starting point and using Vivid is the worst.

In Photoshop, I make a copy of the base layer, go to Image, Adjustments, Match Color, and check the "Neutralize" box. Amazing what happens. What you see in my edit is a straight match color adjustment.
