Roe doe in the snow.

Gitzo 1548/Arca B1.
Full frame, levels.

Hi,

Just sorting out some images from the achives.
I was fortunate to locate this doe with her well-grown fawn after a decent snowfall. I only managed about a dozen shots before they wandered off into thick cover. Quite chuffed as I had been after a "Roe in snow" for quite a while.

LARGER VERSION

All comments always welcome and appreciated.

Stunner! Well captured. I assume you let her hear/see you in order to get full face and a cocked ear? :wink:

Funny you should say that as I quite often talk to her as I'm approaching and whilst photographing her :smile:
