Major cuteness factor, Howard. Love the bg/surrounding flora and the poses. Sweet image. :toast:

Very preety scene,
They look very close to the Spotted Deer (Axis axis) species we have here in India, (any idea on the species name)
The BG is really adding to the cuteness factor of the deers
My only wish wud be if you cud have got a bit more DOF so as to get teh right deer too in sharper focus :wavey:

Thanx for your comments on this one!
This is the native North American White-tailed Deer, I just thought every one knew Krunal.. My bad :smile:
The second fawn's back considerably, do not need it sharp.
Like a floral comp with a second flower off in the BG, it simply 'echos' the subject here :wavey:
