Fallow Deer by shepherdmanswife

Fallow Deer

I know that a lot of you don't like my photos when I edit them with the oil paint filter, but I just couldn't resist it with this bambi! So I'm sorry for not sharing the original unadulterated shot but I just love this one as she looks so adorable like this, not that she didn't anyway, but I just prefer this one. Sorry for the rambling on.
Thank you all so much for the huge number of faves for the frozen web shot yesterday. @shepherdmanswife/365/2015-01-04 I am flabbergasted! It's always the ones that I don't think are that good that you lovely people like the best!
Beautiful shot!

That is the most beautiful shot of a deer that I've ever seen, that is gorgeous :)

The process gives the Fawn a softer more delightful look!

Definitely something very magical about this! Personally, I love the oil paint filter! You never get carried away with it and use it with the utmost discretion. Have yet to see one I don't like. :)

It looks sooooo soft and fluffy! :) Regarding the oil paint filter - I think the deer looks great but maybe the grass looks a bit too unnatural. Really lovely shot :)

Do you have that filter on your camera or is it post processing? Its hardly noticeable but I can see that it has softened the whole picture. fav

Over 1000 images, ya just gotta have fun with it! You are the artist!
Fav, love this effect. I agree also that we get taken by surprise sometimes by something we take for granted. Maybe if we didn't feel challenged in the getting the shot or processing the shot we didn't personally invest in it??
