Fallow Deer

The spotted and multihued coat of the Fallow allows it to blend into their surroundings and will often stand motionless, only the movement of a flickering tail will give them away.

Fallow deer have long been a favorite of hunters, with British records stating that Norman royalty, with the Kings permission, could hunt Fallow deer in the 1100's. Their meat was considered fit-for-a-king.

Fallow bucks are easily identifiable with a prominent Adam's apple and the antlers are flattened with rounded points.

Fallow prefer open areas for grazing, with woodlands nearby for safety and safety in numbers.

It looks like you really got her attention Stefan. She is sweet and so alert. Mixed light can be so tricky and you handled it really well.

The face-to-face POV works very well here -- she appears to be curious and not tooooooo shy about you.
Great colours and details

Hi Stefan,

Very good shot of this deer. She seems to be really interested in you, I like the eye contact.
Colours and light are beautiful, excellent POV and composition.
Thanks for sharing!

Hello Stefan,
I like how this beautiful animal looks at you with curiosity. This lightning and details are very nice. It is also a beautiful environment and I like the way you framed this picture. This is a very nice animal and a good portrait of it. Thanks,
Claudine

Everything is fine, Stefan.
My only nit is the tight cropping; the legs and the edge issue.
Overall well done; especially the beautiful light...

Excellent capture Stefan with wonderful point of view and colors.

I like it a lot: composition, POV, DOF, focus, sharpness, color, lighting, background, framing.

I like it: frame, notes.

I don't like it: the lack of the values of the image.

Beautiful image with great opportunism to capture so deep look.
Thank you and greetings... Ricardo

Wonderful shot of this Fallow Deer. Love the POV angle you have on him. The light and colours a very good, with the spots on his back showing sharply. He is perfectly positioned in the grass. Very good all round.
