Just in case you don't get a chance to do a re-shoot, there are some marginal improvements that you can give it. You don't say what PP software you have so it's difficult to give specific advice, but if you have any sharpening software that uses deconvolution (often referred to as shake reduction or anti-blur or some such), that would be your best starting point.

In addition to sharpening, if you can't get proper sharpness, the next best thing is vividness, which can give an impression of sharpness. Clarity and Contrast are the best ways to increase vividness (as opposed to just turning up the saturation, which will have unwanted side effects). For best effect you can select the fawn for the extra Clarity and Contrast, and if you can include extra sharpening for the selection, even better.

Lightroom doesn't have anti-shake or anti-blur, but you do have some control over the sharpening process. For the following edit I put Radius and Masking full up, with the Sharpening slider at 66 (a bit more than half way to full) and the Details slider at 5 (very low). I also added a small amount of de-noise (5) with the Details slider well up (85), and I lightened it a bit.

The one thing you won't be able to do is crop. As shown it's on the limits of acceptability and even a small amount of cropping will take it beyond that limit. Fortunately the wide view suits the subject - a small fawn finding his way in the big wide world.
