A second attempt at this spot where I observed the fawn leaping.
It's from 10 minutes earlier, as it gathers itself for the jump.
Softer light as the sun slipped behind a cloud, with more space. Elected to just leave the Horsemint flower in this NPN post, purchase link without.

I like the image better overall Howard because of the extra space and the 2x3 ratio to give room in front. Nice work!

Fawn is in focus, front to back and the colors are rich. My only reaction is the moment of capture feels a little awkward. I agree this is good work.

Sweet pose, Howard and amazing dof to get almost the entire fawn in sharp focus.
