I love that you can really get a feel for how big that rock is in comparison to the deer. :) As for equipment, in the long run a telephoto lens is going to help you out – on the other hand sometimes it’s nice to step back a bit. I think the composition is fine, I think the shots are a bit underexposed and the sky is a bit flat – photoshop can fix all of that. Anyway – I reckon a quick adjustment in PS, print them big and you’ve got two pretty decent shots. :)
Here is what Lorraine did with it. (Hope she doesn’t mind)
She and you seemed to have about the same idea for it that I never saw. Great minds and all that :wink:
