Nice clear photo. The animal is very colorful too... ours tend to be almost invisible in coloration in these woods.

@Earnest: Ours really stand out against the green... which is good when you are driving and they are standing on the edge of the road!
@Eleftheria!: Yes, they are.
Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
Terrific, perfect timing, gorgeous details and clarity and the light foot movement completes this super shot.

345mm.... you must have been quite away? The deer has a lovely color, and trotting away proudly. That is a very fine shot.

@Observing: I was close until it started to move away! Thanks!
MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom
She has a spring in her step, bless her. A brilliant shot Betty.

@MaryB: She was spring to the woods because she had enough of me and my camera! Thanks, Mary.
Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada
Maybe it was just playing hard to get. The animal's grace comes through even in the stopped action.

@Michael Rawluk: These fawns are just beautiful... we really enjoyed watching them!
@Joy: Really... usually they are running so fast you can't snap quick enough. This one was kinda trotting!
Ron from Saint Louis, United States
So, so beautiful, Betty ... love it against that soft, natural background!
