snow covered doe

It must have been snowing heavily since the snow is so untouched on the top of this doe's head. A real winter animal. I like the close and personal approach and how well the doe is standing out from all the white snow.

This is also a sharp photo, and it is such clear and well defined details to be seen. I also like how well you have brought out the fine textures of the snow. The exposure and the white balance is perfect.

The tight framing works well, and the doe has got such a fine placement within the frame. I think this is a truly sweet and well taken photo , and with an excellent DOF. I wish you luck with the contest.

A very wonderful visual presented here of this deer that's just full of snow. I'm sure he was trying to find some tasty morsels under the snow itself. Composition is very well thought out. Thank you for sharing.

This is an absolutely adorable capture of the doe !You've done a great job with the timing, and the way the light, shadows, and colours interact is really pleasing to the eye. Good luck!

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of that cold, snow covered animal. Wonder how deep that snow was? Well done and good luck!

She has collected so much snow on her ears and the top of her head , it has even collected onto her eyelashes. It's also on her back.
This is a nice entry for this contest. She is well focused, clear and your exposure and white balance are correct, it's do nice to see the accurate colors in the snow and in this beautiful girl!
Well placed within the frame , I like this close view!
Well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!

    Welcome to Far! I would suggest that you read up on how the star system works, as well as seeing how others rank the photo you are viewing. Anything below 5 stars indicates that the photo needs to be improved, it’s is definitely worth more than 3 stars.

This is such an unusual photograph of a doe covered in snow! The portrait of this doe is so unique and unexpected. The focus and clarity are great, such a beautiful shot.
