Backyard trespasser (Deer)

This friend strolled by the other day and hung around long enough to get a couple snaps.

Let me know what you think. Thanks!:thumbup:

Nice capture; a couple of thoughts: The focus seems a little soft on the face, although that may just be my crappy work monitor and a slight position so that the branch was draped over his head would have helped. A smaller depth of field to achieve selective focus on the his head only might have produced an interesting result as well.

That fern-like greenery on the ground of your garden looks nice!
And how I wish our deer were as "tame". I can never get close to any of them, not even with my 70-300mm lens fully zoomed in

Those twigs are a tad distracting...

I totally agree. Unfortunately my poor canon lens was stopped down as far as she would go. The branches across the the face were also unfortunate.

I feel your pain LaFoto this was with a canon 70-300 fully zoomed and then I even performed a small crop from there. I tried to clone out the twigs but just wasn't happy with it. At least there is a lot of green, right? :sexywink:
