White tail doe

Nice capture, John. Looks like she let you get fairly close. She gave you a good look as well as 2 nice catchlights. On my monitor the saturation looks a little high. A bit more room at the bottom would be good if you have it, to have room for the feet. Looks like she is just starting to shed her summer coat for the gray winter one. I've noticed deer shedding here in CA, too. Even though it is still very warm, hormones and day length rule.

The expression on her face tells me she got quite a surprise to see you there in front of her as she stumbled out of the woods John. I love that look and the dark BG helps to isolate the subject. The clipped hoof at the bottom edge is a little unfortunate.
