White Tail Doe Leaping

[Myer Bornstein]

Interesting afternoon at Sachuest NWR Middletown RI between Dunlin on the beach coming within 5 feet, an immature red-tailed hawk showing off and allowing people with ten feet and the deer feeding and leaping my son and I had a great time. Sun was shining, minimal wind and the temperature was 39

Leaping pose is nice. It would have been great if you were slightly to the right, so that the animal would not have appeared moving away from the frame. Thanks for sharing. Look forward to more.

Cheers,

Nice shot Myer, I love watching deer run.
Comp looks good and the warm browns look great too.
I would darken the background a bit because the deer disappears into the surrounding backgound to much.
I enjoy shooting with my son too.

Cheers,

Michael

Michael
first attempt at darking the background. Thoughts?
