Roe Deer on a frosty morning

It was rather chilly last weekend when this was shot, I do however love those crisp early mornings just as the sun just rises. I came across this deer whilst stalking a barn owl (who has managed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time for weeks now ).

D300, 200-400VR+1.4TC, 1/100@f6.3 (+0.7ev), ISO800

That is nice, I really like the sense of environment... looks cold too.

Great looking shot

Nice shot of a very alert subject.

Looks about half a stop over exposed from where I'm sitting, and looking at the histogram in PS confirms this.

Cheers,J

Great one Wonderful environment and great subject.
The animal looks alarmed. I think she ran off seconds later

Hi Paul,

Not a bad substitute, but would be nice to see the Owl. Something you can try, if you know it's favourite hunting perches (those OoF fence posts look ideal) try putting some seed/grain under them to attract mice, then the owl (hopefully) will use the perches more and be a bit more predictable

Regards

I think the slightly bright image suits the frosty morning. I really like the picture but I think maybe the branches are a bit distracting disappearing into the deer's back-end as they do.
