Fallow Deer.

[JohnP]

I went walking in the Forest of Dean on Wednesday, I wanted to get some macros of insects. As insects appear to be banned from my local wood this year I thought I'd try another venue, as it happened things were no better in the forest either. It was so hot and sticky I decided just to take the macro lens and not be weighed down with gear as I was already carrying more water than I would usually. If I'm honest a ten mile hike was too much especially as my bad leg plays up when it's hot and I suffered for it yesterday. Isn't it marvelous, when I have my full set of lenses I'm lucky if I see any deer, on Wednesday I came across Fallow Deer on several occasions. These two shots were taken with the macro lens and the second has been cropped to death...

beautiful. the second shot is lovely when viewed large. how lucky for you to see this lovely animal.

They are both lovely.

The distance one shows how he is apprehensive about getting closer.and the cropped concentrates more on the detail.
I would feel lucky to be able to get one at all in the wind.
