Nice lighting, background a bit distracting but then it does show the effectiveness of the 'camouflage' colouration of the deer. Lovely strong catchlights in the eyes and a cracking pose. Nice one.

Looks a bit green to me, when I first opened this I thought they were llama's :biggrin: , must be going mad. Check out the colour though, my fifty pence work monitor is always right :wink: .

Can't decide of this really has a cast or not but the Deer really do look grey in that light don't they.. Nicely timed and captured image there Major. Nice work.

I might be wrong Tim but think its a combination of early morning light and the colour of the coat at this time of year that is giving the effect. Will have a go when I get home.

Many thanks Major.
