Oh Deer...

[Big]

I shot this last weekend and have been playing around with it a little, I decided to try a soft look. I have been dying to get a picture like this for a long time now. What do you think?

Exif:
1/125
5.6
ISO 500

How about a vertical format cropping to the 3 out of focus trees? It would give it more of a peek-a-boo feel. The little bit of body showing is a bit distracting.

Looks like he was surprised!! Nice capture!

I tried cropping it but it makes it very square looking and odd but I can see your point about it. The only thing I wish was that the trees were white birch.

Thanks Eric!

If the herd in my area was a better quality and I had the patience to sit in a ground blind, I would bait them with something like C'Mere Deer to get them where I wanted to photograph them.

^^^ No baited deer here, just wild
