Having just arrived back at our place in Kansas after four months away six white tailed hinds arrived to greet us. This effort was taken through the lounge window which had six months dust on it.

Taken at sun down just a quick chance.

Canon 350D ISO 200 hand held 157mm f/2.8 1/250 sec

Your comments and critique most welcome as ever.

Thank you

Barry

I really like this. The six months of dust seems to have added a certain 'je ne sait quoi' to the image IMHO. Very atmospheric.
It was a great welcome home. Thanks for posting.

Barry - great low-key photo, but what is going on at the top of the deers front leg and down the left edge of the frame?
Some USM and all else black - shot will be a stunner

Regards

Andy

Thanks David and Andy the bottom left is the end of a railroad tie (sleeper) we use to fence the paddocks. My expertise at tweaking is still lacking.

Thank you for comments

I like this a lot and the minor tweaks as indicated above will finish it off just right. Very good.
