you did well to spot this one Jeff. A nice record of your sighting. It's difficult to know how much you've cropped this, but I think I'd prefer to see more space above the deer as it's a bit too high in the frame for me.

I agree a bit more on top and a bit less at the bottom will do nicely. Still a nice catch!

Hi Jeff, great capture and love the eye contact. You can see why they are so hard to spot! Can I suggest a little more back on the bottom of the image, say just below that central ball of dead leaves? You did very well to get it lay down, they are normally just a disppearing white tail for me!

Nick.

It looks fairly comfortable with you being there Jeff. I prefer the cropped one and a tadge more back on the bottom would be sweet

The second is a far stronger image Jeff and works well. Nice strong eye contact and as Bob mentioned it does look comfortable with your presence.

Lovely shot, second is much better, although I agree with Bob. Such lovely creatures!
