I was scanning your portfolio for possible posts that I missed and glad to see this one!

Superb up close and very personal...
Viewers are drawn right into that doe eye!
EyeCATching portrait with natural colors and wildlife setting...
Sharply focused fine facial features & smooth coat textures.

Why cropped the ears? Any distracting elements?!?

Nice perspective & narrow DOF.

Thanks for sharing...

Thanks for finding and liking this one! I did not include the ears because I wanted the eye and nose most of all. I do have shots including the ears and probably will post one or two in the future.

This is a great close up of the little one's face. You captured nice detail of the fur with a good amount of texture showing. The colors are also well exposed and very attractive.

This is a beautiful shot. The deer is beautiful and you caught the small details of its fur wonderfully. The focus on the deer's face with the rest of it's pelt fading into the background is very nice. Very well done.
