Had meant to spent all of last week photographing roe deer, unfortunately woke up the first morning in my tent with a bad flu, so as the rain set in i was obliged to carry all my gear back home in a rather weakened state, needless to say a frustating week.
There had been some nice light the evening before though, i do have some images with this buck fully lit against a dark patch but prefered the more subtle way it blends in in this image.
40D + 300mm F4L + 1.4 extender
1/30 @ F5.6 (i think)

I am sure a larger version would reveal much moe detail. I like seeing the bigger picture, well done.

This is exactly the way I usually see Roe deer. TFS.
Good to see you're having some productive encounters with your Roe deer.
A fine shot and the setting is a little different from the more often seen images of them out in the open.

Really like this and I think you are right that the dappled light on the dear as worked better than one in full light.
well done
