Thanx Ron! I do make it wildlife 'friendly', with the pond/stream and feeders for the birds..
We've also left the land in its natural state, no clearing has ever been done.

Hello Howard

Sweet Image:) Beautifully coloured fawn, Sharp and well detailed. Really like the tall grasses as background.
Well defined and separated from the surrounding grasses.

Great Capture of a beauty!

Very sharp and nice dof to show off this beautiful fawn. The ears and backward glance works well with this innocent creatures nature. You have the technical and aesthetic aspects well covered ! The large white rock bottom centre draws my attention perhaps a little more than it should but not a huge deal. Thanks for sharing Howard. :smile:

Nice one, Howard. Beautiful fawn with wonderful colors. It gave you a nice glance and pose. The habitat and it's colors show off the fawn well and give a sense of where it lives. Tack sharp with wonderful detail.

I like this for its "painterly" effect, achieved with limited but distinct color palette.
