Interesting shot. She seems ready to bolt, but not sure. Good exposure. different pose then usually seen of roe deer. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Ron,

Nice light and very nicely exposed. This certainly your "typical" pose, which adds to the appeal of the image. If this is a crop I'm wondering if reducing a little space to the right of the deer, or adding a little to the left (or both) might help strengthen the composition. To my eye (and this is obviously personal preference) the deer is just a little too centred in the frame.

Cheers...

Brad

This is a pretty deer. I appreciate the excellent exposure of snow showing good detail and I like the curving mirroring her lean.
