 We were out taking a drive in the country when we saw a doe jump the fence. We then realized that she left a fawn behind. It looked like it was less than a day old. It first tried to follow me, but then took cover in tall grass.

Primary processing - crop, levels, curves, selective color. Last cloned out some of the grass so that the fawn was better visible.

Wonderful, tugs at the heart strings. I would like to see the fawns rump in focus too. But otherwise really beautiful.

This will likely get high marks for the cute factor (even from me) despite the focus being off and it being overexposed. I am sure this was just a quick shot with not much time to adjust. Needless to say, what a find!

Excellent shot. A real winner with the grass framing and darling fawn subject.

Ohmygoodness! This is such an amazing shot! The minute I saw it, it grabbed my heart! Definitely in a 10 sort of way!

I love it!!!! Doesn't it make you mad that people actually hunt these animals?
And it is naturally framed!

Ok everyone, all at once now.... Awwwwwww. ;-)
Except for the distracting green leaves the "frame" is great. Foreground focus is a bit off, but a great job overall.
