Deer in the grove + repost

Gallery: WildlifePosted June 18, 2013124 views4 comments

This photo was taken just before the one I previously posted. I have tried to reduce the noise by reducing noise before making any other adjustments. Your comments on how well this worked out will be appreciated. I did take these photos from a car. The deer did not seem concerned until another car went by.

Hi John. The noise is quite well controlled in this photo and an improvement over the previous. The fine detail on the deer has suffered a little from the noise reduction I think, assuming here that you reduced noise on everything? I do prefer the vertical format of the previous photo of this setting, I find the hind end of the deer poking out behind the tree unusual; perhaps if that dominant tree were a bit further to the left it would change my feelings. This is a beautiful forest setting and hopefully the deer will continue to cooperate and you can get back to pursue a few more compositions with them. Thanks for positing.

Thanks for your comments Gary. I have attached a vertical composition, I do like it better than the horizontal.

I think your repost works better compositionally too John.But, like Gary mentioned, that if the tree were a bit more left or right, it could work well in the horizontal presentation. The bright leaves right behind the ear is a little distraction and I would consider toning that down a tad to make it less eye-catching.
