Hi,

One from a productive session a couple of days ago.
I managed to find a buck and doe just before the final traces of snow disappeared. They're best of friends and always spend the Winter together. I was particularly pleased to discover the buck had shed his antlers in the last two weeks, as I've been after some pictures of him 'antler-less'.
Anyway, this is the doe and a particularly pretty individual she is too, particularly in her summer coat.

All comments always welcome and appreciated.

I'm liking this one very much, Justin. The soft lighting and the perfectly framed doe make the shot for me. Superbly processed too. Top drawer as usual.
