Who needs a perch when you got a bit of doe

In the phoenix park today taking a few snaps of the deer, with canon eos 550d and kit lens 18-135 lens wish i could have got closer though.
All thoughts welcome good or bad.
Next years contenders getting practice in.Hi Jambomac
Well done for getting out there, the light on the day doesn’t looked as though it helped you, your set of images are not to bad, the only thing that if it were me that I would do is crop hard on some of the images, some have a little too much in them for my liking, the phoenix park deer are quite tame so your equipment is fine, why not try them again on a day with better light and try and single out a deer and go after it for a few head shots, try small groups as well, you’ll work out what you like and looks best then,all of this is my opinion only everyone will have their own take on this but well done on posting these images.
Thanks for the comments paul tried to get head shots but they kept walking away as i got closer.
To many runners chasing them wasn’t helping the situation.
I will hopefully invest in a bigger 100mm – 400mm l lens which will hopefully help me out.
I’ll keep going at it the dear aren’t leaving yet.
Hi Jambomac
If you get a chance pick up this months Photography Monthly, there’s a great section on Deer photography.

nice shots, as paulwh said maybe a bit of a crop. shame about the runners, disturbing them, ive been there a few times and if you have long enough time you can get quite close if you take your time. possible to get some interesting wide shots as opposed to the usual close ups. just a thought on processing theres seems to be a bit of a majenta cast on the images, only slightly. could be my screen. you could maybe reduce the majenta in colour balance.
Thanks lads for comments, sure about magenta issue as not mad into photoshop.
Definitely going to have too work on my deer stalking technique, of course i think the males were still trying to
get there leg over and me being wasn’t to happy with.[youtube] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUbcqn4agUw&list=UUfhQIBs_tVONbRvbrTvbsxg&index=1&feature=plcp” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false; [/youtube]
