Hi Ron,

To me the deer looks very curious yet hungry (despite its curiosity it won't quit pawing at the snow) - so you managed to capture a fair amount of behaviour/conflict in a single frame. When I look at the larger version I see a few soft regions (ears, tail region, etc.), which makes me wish there was a little more depth of field here. The obvious trade-off would be shutter speed, of course, which could have resulted in more of a motion blur in that front leg (which could have been good or bad, I suppose!). There's always trade-offs!

Cheers...thanks for sharing this...

Lovely light on that deer Ron. That combined with the white BG make it stand out very well. Apart from what Brad already mentioned I wonder how it would have looked with more of an animalscape approach including more of the habitat, for example a tree to make for a more challenging composition. That is of course if the environment suited itself for it...

The snowy setting is very nice and it contrasts particularly well with the doe's coat.
It isn't unusual to see Roe feeding at any time during the day, they frequently have bouts of feeding and resting and are quite often up and about in daylight hours if the area is undisturbed.
