I know I've clipped the ears but didn't have time to take my TC off. I just really liked the gentle expression on the Deer's face.

Don't you wish they were capable of intellectual thought and don't you especially wish you knew what they'd be thinking? Nice capture.
Park herd or in the wild?

Lovely intimate portrait. You've only just clipped the ear and I'm sure you could add a little canvas at the top if you wished.

BIF suits me ma'am.

Very attractive shot though I agree with you that the ears are a bit too close to the edge of the frame.

Ears aside it's a lovely portrait, just a bit more room at the top and the deer positioned more to the left for comp.

Delightful portrait.

Hey Maggie

Agree with AS re the comp and clipping but otherwise a nice portrait where the gentle expression is echoed by the soft, muted light

Happy New Year

It is stunning Maggie, I love it.

Delightful shot and full of detail. I think it would have suited a portrait format well, but I'd settle for this any time.

Small nits covered but a grand portrait.
