Beginner Needs Help!

Keep practicing and once you are sensitive to the technical aspects of your camera, then, as has been stated, there is the "impact" of the photo. Is there a focal point, is the viewer being invited to engage with your photo? Sometimes a photo can be worked on in post-processing to improve its impact. That's a whole other set of skills that you might decide to look into later. We're really not supposed to grab a photograph and work on it unless invited to do so, but I just wanted to show you a bit of what can be done after you've taken a photograph:
Enjoy the journey!

Good day.
I don't fully understand what you mean with multiple focal point. If you mean having everything in FOCUS, then all lens would be sharpest where its focus is set and would continuously blur as it goes away from that spot, both towards or away from you. The amount of space with acceptable sharpness is called depth of field. If the animals would be standing outside this field, then they will not be in focus.
On the other hand, If you mean COMPOSITION FOCAL POINT, then may i suggest reading this previous posts:

A final note, If you apply the rule of shadows to the solo deer, it will merge with the ground as both are in focus and their color value are similar. Hence it does not have a clear Hero, creating a weak composition.

Once again go to the app.You will find ALL sorts of reviews needed to answer your questions.Also I forgot to mention that on the Cannon store you can make monthly payments for any thing you purchase.If you have aBest Buy close buy you can also make payments. Or actually see the lens in person.Same for a local camera shop;for viewing or holding something in your hands.Weight and feel of a camera;and lens does make a difference.How you are going to carry your equipment makes a difference .Back pack ,side access,camera sling,tripod,maybe a bean bag for concealed nature shots,number of lenses. ETC,ETC. one person I knew had small hands but she preferred bigger ( hand held lenses) . Her reasoning,She hunted with her family and was used to the length of her arm for steady shots. She also used a bean bag velcroed to her left arm for small lenses

You've gotten some really great technical advice on here. I love the first photo especially. There is one thing I thought I'd mention but more in a joking way, since deer are not always cooperative subjects. A photographer that likes to bring people here once in awhile (we have flowering cherries) commented that she's especially mindful of not having branches or trees sprouting out of people's heads. I suppose that might be true for deer as well. 
So much to think about ... it's hard to capture them at all. If we could get them to POSE ... it would be awesome.
