Nice one
More space on the left would help a lot too.
Good stuff.

Lovely wintery image Ron most successful further enhanced by a liitle more space on LH side.

Lovely image, but I agree about a little more space on the left would have been better.

Hi Ron

I'll echo the comments regarding the space on the left but I'd also mention shooting at F13. I might have been tempted to shoot closer to F5.6/6.3 which should have kept all the deer sharp but would also have thrown the background a little more but this is still a very fine family group of an elusive subject. Really good stuff

Why you've used f13 I cannot understand Ron, as not only was it unnecessary but at such small apertures you are not using the lens to the best of its ability or imaging performance

Very nice doe though - looks like she had twins last year..

Hello Ron.

Lovely capture and the only nite about some more room on the left as been covered.

Well for me I dont mind the f13 for this image as for me its about the setting and feel for the conditions. The extra detail in the forground and backgrond helps show this and does not distract from the deer.
