Great POV! The fawns are nicely exposed and are nicely framed with the green vegetation on the sides. With this kind of bright lighting it is good to have the entire bkgd surrounding the fawns being evenly bright and not dappled. Your eye goes directly to the fawns and is not distracted by any obvious blobs. Have you experimented with reducing the yellows just a tad?
Hi Ian - I like the comp with the fawns in the high grass and brush. As Nancy said, nice pov and good poses too. I would try to reduce the highlights a bit in the bg either in the conversion or with a luminosity mask. I'd also selectively sharpen the fawn on the left a little more.
Hi Ian, I like this and it's different! You should really post it to a larger size, it warrants it and will do the image a better justice I feel.
If you have it, then a fraction more space below, it's a bit tight. I'm OK with the highlights, it conveys the strong light and the vegetation has more of a reality to it. Worth a try to see what a Luminosity adjustment may do, but I fear it will lose some of it's character/charm. Or, if you have LR then a radial filter may be another option and brings in a tad more depth, but avoids the subjects???
Not the easiest light to work in but I think you've managed to do the best you could. I love the way the foliage frames the fawns, particularly the one on the right - good work
