Thank you Holmes for posting these pictures.  I will apologize for blurry pics. I never was a photographer.  The flash made the nose look alot lighter on the inside than it really is.  There is a speed septum in it.  Thank you for any advice.

A little white showing at rise of the eye lid don't know if it is the light or what take a fine artist brush and ensure the whole eye lid is painted

Clean looking! Several folks have pointed out many of the strongest points! Also natural looking guard hair on the nose and chin.
You mentioned photography. The old saying that the camera doesn't lie is very true. One of the best ways to critique your own mounts is to get a good camera and good light use close up settings and or an appropriate lens so that you don't optically distort the image or take it from a further distance and with some magnification and take photos from various angles. (digitals makes this fast and inexpensive!) 
Distortions, imbalance or a-symmetry, hard angles etc will really stand out in photos! (Another hint; some computer programs will allow you to super impose a grid to examine the symmetry level of the eyes ears etc.) While it is true nature is not always perfect or exactly even but things do tend to balance and the 2 dimensional photo image really illustrates the difference.
Ultimately if it looks like a live deer from every angle you are "the man!"
Also photo and look at your mounts at the angle and height that it will ultimately be displayed at. This is where the eye focus, ear angle etc. should all come together in the most convincing way.

Congrats
