Deer in green
This one I took on a ride. I met this one in the field about a 100 mtrs distance.
Cropped from all sides.

Lens Focal Length: 500.00 mm
Shutter Speed: 1/400 sec
F-Number: F5.6
ISO: 100
Compensation: EV 0/1

C&C welcome. Special about the cropping. I like the picture as it is now. Please let me know.

I don't think this would benefit from cropping, it looks fine as it is. The light's a litte harsh but that's out of your control if it's a chance encounter. Composition looks great.

Hi Tom
Perhaps a little "lifting " of the detail in the blacks would help to lessen the harshness..
I personally would like to see more on the bottom and a little off the right and top.
Cheers

Hi John,

Thanks for your comments. I modified it a little on the head.
It's the first time I did some modifications on a part of a picture, so I'm not sure I did it correctly and without visible disturbances.. :confused:

Thanks again.

I think the second is more balanced. I don't mind the lighting if that was the prevailing conditions at the time. A very nice image.

:toast: :toast: :jump:

The second one is better in my book, would try to lift the dark side of the ROedeer a bit. Very nice.

A very nice composition Tom , it's a shame the light was so harsh.
