Hi John, this is very sweet and again the image has moved up a notch. Tech looking good and the DoF has created a nice amount of mush which I like. Might be bordering on a fraction too sharp and I'm not sure what the mark is from on the neck, do you?

Nice one John.

I really like the buttercups in her mouth, well timed, details in the fur look good as do those around the darker ares such as the nose. The eye is pin sharp - very nice image.

Such a lovely frame, John!

Well composed and nice thinking on DoF. Colours look great and I love the pose from the Doe as well as the little yellow flower she is munching on:S3: Such a special image, I like this as presented - wonderful work!

Kind regards,

She is shedding her coat from winter to summer. That is where she lost some of the winter fur.

The different colour patches of fur and time of year suggest to me that she is just at the tail end of replacing winter coat with summer coat. It's lovely that she let you approach so closely [ conclusion drawn from 1) 530mm, 2) no crop, 3) fills frame ]. Edit: Oops, I see you beat me to it with that explanation John

Hi John lovely frame , albeit the coat change makes her less visually attractive , but hey it is nature and for sure no issue here.

The flowers in the mouth are a very nice addition . You have created a lovely bokeh ...

Only thing i might change , if you have is a bit more FG for the long virtual legs , just a matter of taste or an option .
