### Description

We’ve had bumper crop of fawns here lately and this is one checking me out in our backyard. They are the coolest looking critters in the woods right now.

Cropping? I kicked around whether or not to clone out that LH tree trunk. Yeah?

### Technical Details

Z9, 180-600 lens, Nikon 1.4 TC, 1/1000th, f 8.5, 490mm, ISO 1800, monopod, cropped to 6482 x 5289.

TOO CUTE!!! You made a gorgeous portrait here, with a very captivating expression. I like the tree, and even wonder if a bit more of it would work. It fits with the lovely BG that echoes its color and soft focus. I wonder if it’s possible to tone down the bright meadow and still keep the surroundings as good as they are. And maybe reduce contrast on the leaves a bit?
