It is a nice deer picture, Phil, but I don't think it is a roe. Although the body colour is right, roe deer do not have antlers like that. I think what you have here is a very brown fallow deer.

Tiny bit tight in the frame for me but a cracking shot. It is a Fallow. Like the ones in the forest here they seem to revert to browns and darks instead of the "pretty" menil coloured.

I knew it was taken with a 200-400 before reading, something about the bokeh! Weird.

Anyway, yes lovely shot and colours, wish I could find some round here, they just upped and vanished from the usual spots :(

Nice one, as already mentioned, the colours of both the deer and the surrounding habitat work very well together, super sharp too. Slight nit re the space around the deer covered, good work, Phil.
