Nice shot, the head looks a bit distorted. I had a similarly looking capture of a lion and I guess it's the distribution of fur that causes it.
Looks like having one ear forward and one backward is causing a little bit of facial distortion; but it does give better all round sound in case something is sneaking up from behind.
Whether that makes for a better more natural scene or slightly spoils the facial symmetry will probably be a matter of personal opinion.
Nice shot, my only critique would be that the background is a little bit distracting.
Nice capture. Both the evergreen branch and the fallen deciduous leaves are complimentary decorations for this picture of the deer, though I would like it if it were a little less cluttered/messy, but it is reasonable in that regard for a scenario like that.
Thanks all for the feedback and comments.
I did ask the lady to stop moving her ears and move to a different location but she said no.![]()
I wonder if opening the aperture up could have blurred the leaves so they aren't so 'sharp' and distracting.
