Autumn Doe+repost
Wild fallow on the edge of a rutting stand. Very few and far between this year. Most of the bucks have had a bad time being chased around by dogs and disturbed by walkers- mountain bikers etc. The does don't know where they are they get scattered all the time. The lastest craze is mountain biking at night so the deer have even lost the chance to settle after dark

Very nice image JR and looks almost 3D'ish. My personal view on the crop would be to loose the two horizontal branches above the doe as they are a little distracting and do not add anything to the image. No big deal though.

Not sure, both show a bit of cloning and it distracts, especially the tree trunks where DOF should be blurry.

No cloning on the first one Neil

Just a lazy noise removal brush where I missed the tree base.
Very observant of you.:biggrin:

Is there no way that a part of the Forest could be set aside for these outdoor activities? Surely its big enough...

Anyway nice natural image your 'lazy' noise removal is very apparent :razz:

All the best

There are areas set aside but no body to police it !!
