Had this same image in a neighbors yard lol. She woke up to six deer in her front lawn. Lighting, shading, color tones, details really nice. Overall a nice presentation. Thanks for sharing!

These guys look totally relaxed! What a cool sighting and in your own backyard too! It's moments like this that you really want to have your camera with you! You captured quite a group here! Good lighting and focus add to the joy of viewing this! Great shot for the contest!

Excellent entry for this contest. The photo is sharply focused and has an extensive DOF.

Colors are bright and natural in tonality, shading and hue. Which benefits the long scale contrast.

Looks like my backyard from when we first moved here... Bob
