Istvan, this is one of the best roe deer photos I have ever seen. Very nice, good pose, good detail, great composition. Thanks for sharing.

Hi István,

Very nice! Composition is strong and I like the "visual contrast" provided by the spot of light. I'm wondering if a very slight brightening of the subject (maybe 1/3 stop) might make the image even a little stronger? I'm not suggesting going up to the brightness of the "spot", but just a tad more? Just a thought...

Cheers...

Brad

I agree, Brad. Here is the modified version.

HI again István,

Like the repost - the change was extremely subtle. You could probably even push it a little further, but the image is quite strong as is - a pleasure to look at!

Cheers...

Cool shot - the bright spot nicely balances the composition. If this were mine, I'd probably clone out (blasphemy! :smile:) the curved branches just above the buck in the background. They have the same tone as the head, and I think the shot will look better without them.
