Roe Deer Bambi + REPOST
Hi Guys,

Went out to my Roe Deer site again last night and this time together with Edwin Kats and another friend and we had a great time.
At the end of the day in the last light out of nowhere this little 40cm tall Bambi appeared in front of us and allthough the light was gone we gave it a try anyway and some results where allright.
Would have preferred a tad more DOF but the light just wasn't there..

Greetings,

Jeroen Stel

An endearing image and a nice one to have. If this is a crop and you can give it more space I would as I find the subject a bit top cramped in the frame.

Hi Tom,

Perhaps you are right..
Here's the original as shot full frame with a tad more space all around..

Thanks for the input!
