Nice cute factor with the fawn, but I do like how you framed the Peacock shot. Well done Alex

Had a fun few hours at Bucklebury Farm Park in Berkshire a couple of weeks ago:
Comments and critique all welcomed. Particularly, do you find the peacock over sharpened? And all my fawn shots came out a bit softer than I would have liked - on reflection I should have upped the speed but I was so taken with the cute little blighters I wasn't concentrating so hard on the pics.

I would try and crop in on the peacock , lose the grass and his feet , see if it works . The fawn looks sharp enough , and is very cute , it`s not always about perfection , and like you I have been caught up in the moment more than once , and done far worse than you have here . You have a couple of nice pics here to remind you of your great day .

Re: Bucklebury Farm Park

I like the peacock one just as it is - excellent

I also agree with Fallow. I often get accused by 'er indoors of not really looking at things as I'm generally peering through a viewfinder. I find there's a balance to be had between trying to get a perfect shot and having those "moments". Well done.

yes, crop off along the bottom and then you have the classic peacock frame

Re: Bucklebury Farm Park

Thanks for the comments guys. I tinkered around with the peacock crop for ages. I decided that half way up the legs wasn't enough - it had to be no legs or all the legs, and finally couldn't cut those nobbly knees. So while I get what you are saying, for me the legs stay.
