Going back to the set when I photographed 'Morning Roar' I thought I 'd share another from that collection. "Boy I need to get out and find something else"..! :biggrin:

Anyway, for this I had to remove the head of doe that was entering stage right, but hope it doesn't detract from the image I was trying to get..

Have a good weekend folks..

Great looking image Brett, the lighting is beautiful as is the setting, the only very minor nit would be the comp, if it were mine, and I wish it was! I'd take a touch off the righthand side to decentralize the deer.

Thanks Andy, I was struggling with that one and I do have others in the sequence that do take it away from central. So thanks for mentioning it and I'm glad I have others to fall back on, that said I could do what you suggest even with this one and just take a bit off the RHS. :wavey:

Kind regards

Great silhouette and lovely lighting. Think with the crop mentioned you'll have a fab image :smile:

Hi Bret,

Nice photograph. As said before a crop from the right would be nice. I think I would personally also crop the bottom to just below the legs of the animal. Also the glance of the waterdrops give the picture a little extra. :toast:

I really love the atmosphere and lighting of this one Brett, the catchlight from the dew on the grass is super. Well captured. :toast:

the lighting and atmosphere are superb Brett. I tend to agree that a bit off the right and bottom would set this off very well.

The atmosphere and the lighting are just wonderful. However I agree with Andrew's cropping suggestion. :smile: :smile:
