Roe Deer

Ron, I enjoy this relaxed gesture. The purple tinge (on my monitor) of the deer suggests to me the need for a white balance adjustment, but that will be an easy fix, especially if this is a raw capture. I think 1/60 was a little slow for stopping the motion completely. Is this a fawn or young of the year?

I also see a bluish/magenta cast on this picture.I do not mind the slight blur of the scratching hoof, infact even a little slower SS might have enhanced the movement a little more adding a little blur motion effect to the behavior. I expect blur motion or stop action either one would work depending on you preference.

Hi Ron,

A nice behavioural shot - it's always fun to watch wildlife for extended periods and see a wide range of their behaviours. My laptop slightly exaggerates magenta casts, so the magenta here appears very pronounced but, as Lon points out, this is an easy adjustment to make. I think I'm with Robert in thinking this image might be stronger by either slowing the shutter a little more OR going to a faster shutter speed. Given your techs it looks to me like your only real option would have been to go slower...

Cheers...thanks for sharing this...
