Taken this past June, a fawn leaps through the Hawkweed flowers.

Great setting, timing and a very cute fawn. The flowers really add to it.

What a great action image! I like the softness of the BG was it the 300 F 2.8 lens?

Wow, picture pretty :)

He certainly looks sweet amongst the flowers.
I tried blurring and dodging and burning the background a bit as not to have it compete with the precious subject. Also did a bit of burning on his eye.

I like the original but Fabs has really made the fawn pop with her PP work.

One's got to love this....the sense of motion...the low angle, the flowers and colours...all very pretty....not even talking about this beautiful animal yet. Wow...great effort! I do agree that the background colours are a bit dominant....but fab's blurring is a bit too obvious. It might be worth to give it a serious try, but it still is a keeper in my book. Excellent work!

Great action and timing on a very nice suject. Love the motion into the frame. The eye of the fawn at a PP is great.. I like both versions
