Challenge: Shallow DOF III (Basic Editing)
Collection: Challenges
Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED VR
Location: England
Date: Jan 27, 2007
Date Uploaded: Jan 30, 2007

 Shot at Richmond Park during our GTG. Im sure the guys will spot it but I tried to get something better for DOF but just didn't have the time so I submitted this.

To be honest I really like this shot, The male is so dominant as the females feed and he watches over them to keep them safe it has a lot of emotion in this shot and I feel that this was maybe my best shot of the GTG.

Go easy on me.

Oh very striking! I love the patterns made by the shallow dof, I should learn how that works one day. Just wish that we saw more of the other animals than their rear end but the first one is in such a distincy pose!

Well composed, beautiful colours and I like the fact that you included the grass mounds in the foreground to add to the dimension.
