Fawn

Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

White-tailed deer.
I saw this fawn at a state park pond yesterday morning. The pond had a slight mist but was quite still so the full reflection of the fawn was visible. The fawn was being led by an adult and they eventually disappeared into the brush (second photo).

Specific Feedback

Any comments appreciated.

I like the reflections in both shots and the mist adds a nice element. Good to have the fawn looking at you.

Nice captures. My fav is the first one. I would look at bumping up its saturation, and contrast.

Beautiful reflections and winderfyl frame ! prefer the first one.
You may experiment with amount of contrast in the reflections.

Great reflections and love the misty look. Nice poses and environment!
Sweet EP!
