Another fine image Jeroen, on a personal note, a little more room around the deer would be nice and the tall piece of grass to the left draws the eye a little, both are very minor nits, though I'm sure some will disagree on these points.

Hi Andy,

I actually agree with you on the space all around issue but working with a 600mm at 10-15 meters from these guys sometimes has it's disadvantages.. :rolleyes: :wink:

A nice shot in an attractive setting and with nice soft light.
I agree with Andy that a bit more room would be ideal, particulary in front of and above the deer, but still a good one as it is.
Must have been a bit more than 10-15 meters with a 600mm or you'd be getting just head shots, although they do appear a hell of a lot closer when looking through the viewfinder :wink:

Nice one but I agree a touch more room would have been nice, but appreciate that when working with a prime lens you often get stuck like this...

:toast: :wavey: :toast:

Ditto here too Jeroen - it's a great shot but needs a bit more room at the top and certainly more to the left.

You've certainly got an A grade Roe "thing" happening there mate :wink: :wavey:

Nice details & colours with good surroundings. A very nice looking deer image.

A lovely close up of the Deer Jeroen. Must be a pleasure to be in such close proximity.
