Taken from the side of the road at dusk on the last night. It was quite foggy and they ran off before I snapped too many. A lucky catch either way!

Hey Mav you have just been hit by the Critique Club:

nice photo. good job. :-)

What a close call, an exact 5.000 good on ya! The fog creates an interesting effect here, it gives me the feeling that it is a chilly evening. The downside to photos in fog are that colors tend to seem washed out, so I guess you gotta take the good with the bad right.

The composition is good, I particularly like the way you got those deer to look at you like that. Couldn't you also have asked them to come over a little closer?

All in all a lucky shot which turned out well but just lacking that "wow" effect. Am looking forward to see more of your pics soon.

Gary

Heh! After all the worrying, you got a 5.0! Good shot though I agree with some of the commenters that a little bit of contrast would have helped! Way to go!

I knew it was fog! ;) And I still think the pose and composition rock. Congrats on taking a good picture!

nice idea, it seems a little blurry though, probably caused by your camera

Great capture! Fog adds a great effect, but the focus is still a bit soft for my taste.

I love the fogginess of this picture. Its as if the deer are about to disappear into the fog, but you caught them just before they made it. They're all looking at the camera too, which I really like. I would have liked a bit more "colour", but its fog, there isn't going to be much and that's the mood of the shot.

Hazy - is it taken early in the morning? Anyway, it probably needs Levels adjustment...

What a neat dreamy picture. I think it may be a tad soft though. Would have like the deer just a little sharper.
