The following pictures of a doe and her second year fawn were were around 100 yards across the road from our home. A 300mm lens was used, but the image still took a fairly large amount of cropping. Around 9:00 AM, low clouds, new snow. I have difficulty exposing for snow scenes, and that shows here. It took quite a bit of fiddling in ON1 to get this image acceptable.
There are two sized images - one that is 2048p on the long side and the other 1920p on the long side.
in your opinion which makes for a better composition? Any other comments are welcome.
ISO 1000. Shutter 1/1000. Aperture 6.3, ExpComp 0

I would go with the second image because it is a better composition to focus on the doe and fawn.

I would try a neutral density filter begun with negative numbers for starting at the bottom and trying out 50, 60 , 70% up or more. I think that is a standard in PS4 up

Does ON1 have an eyedropper tool identical to Lightroom's White Balance panel? IN LR, it's easy to color correct snow with the dropper.

In these photos the foreground snow looks a little toward the neutral gray.(my monitor is calibrated) I seen a vid once & believe it was made by Adorama & Bryan Peterson. He boosted up the exposure compensation some to get white snow if I remember correctly. You might want to try this on the snow if it is still around. The same would be with a Snowy Egret. Your camera always tries for 18% grey unless told other.
Nice deer pics.

The second image is better IMO. You might consider cloning out that grass strand that extends over the deers’ faces.

Originally that was my opinion, but on my laptop somehow the first looks better. Perhaps because the additional enlargement with the second exacerbates what appears to be noise, or maybe soft focus. I'll have to work with it some more and see what can be done.
Thanks for your opinion.

I like the first one the noise can be handled I think. Just a question: Why did you choose an ISO of 1,000 and a shutter speed of 1,000? That ISO guarantees more noise .

Outback also suggested a means of whitening the snow, something I hadn't considered. This is an image that took quite a bit of work to get a presentable picture, here's the out-of-camera image:
