fawn in tall grass

This sleek whitetail fawn provided me with several good poses and just as many smiles. This is taken in either full cloud cover or mountain shade. I warmed slightly from camera auto white balance. Minor crop. Looks best viewed larger.

A perfect specimen, presented to its best advantage. And, of course, the great cute factor. No suggestions here.

Nice detail here and the overcast lighting really worked to your benefit. I would love to have an image like this in my files! Nice work!

Lon, a very nice image. I like the alert pose of the fawn. Good that you found a cooperative one! Thanks for sharing.

Lovely portrait of this Fawn Lon! I really like the soft feel of the colours in this image, they seem to fit the nature of the subject very well!

Hey Lon,

Hard to nit-pick this one - just a very cute fawn captured very well and with very appealing soft lighting. One little thing I like about the image is the one "askew" ear - love the way these guys (of all ages) keep those ears moving all the time (and that's what the one ear reminds me of).

Cheers...

Brad
