Young Fallow Buck

Spent most of today in the New Forest. Weather was overcast and drizzly at times with the odd touch of sunshine (typical British weather then...).

There's a lot working for that shot Stuart. I particularly like the natural triangle framing the fawn.

Lovely shot Stuart. I initially thought the log at the bottom of the photo would be distracting but I find it actually pulls my eye into the shot towards the buck, but then I guess that was the idea

Thanks for the comments guys. I have to admit that I didn't frame this shot - more like get lucky as the Deer appeared whilst I was photographing something else. It's one of those moments when you take a couple of photos and freeze crouched down behind the camera and reipod and hope you don't spook the animal...which in this case I didnt, although I had to keep still for a good couple of minutes until he had moved on

Sometimes it's nice to have luck on your side as I found out today
