Visiting a friend who lives 'inland' where deer visit nightly. I was photographing her and her dog so only had an 85mm. I ended up deciding that rather than a closeup I liked the way they were framed by the surrounding forest.
Like you I usually long for the stunning close up, but have recently been trying to do more with putting things in their environment. Beautiful lighting and I love how you framed them with the tree.
Taffy this is amazing!! I saw it small on my phone first but was leaving for work. Now on my monitor it looks glorious. The colors/tones are unique - so purple-y without being really purple... Awesomeness.
I quite agree with you - this is beautiful framing. I often zoom right in without a thought for the surrounding and have to tell myself to look further around. Such a lovely scene and the light in exactly the right place to showcase the deer.
