While on a three day trip to Shenandoah National Park I caught these two young fawns feeding early in the morning.

Wonderful Image Jack! Ths Shenandoah is a beautiful place to visit and scenes like this show why. I love the way they're heads are in the same position but the bodies aren't.

If i might suggest, a touch of levels/curves really make the fawns pop.

Well Done!

Brian :)

Excellent. Agree that a levels adjustment might perk it up a little

Love the fawns, and your composition and timing. Those eyes are so liquid, I don't even miss the catchlight.

Nice image Jack. I had a pair of twins like this grow up in my backyard a couple years ago and never got photos this good.

Way to go Jack, I really like this one. The two are very nice together.. Looking at the ears, I think you may have a slight magenta cast there, easily corrected in PS. Good going on the fawns Jack, very nice.

Gee this is just great! Love the position of the two. I agree with Dennis on the color cast being a bit off (although my monitor isn't calibrated) and I think it could use a touch of sharpness. A very, very sweet image that I'd love to have taken!

Very sweet shot. I like the fawns positions a lot. I agree a little more PS work could make a very good image even better.

Sweet shot, love the composition with the two fawns together and good detail. I agree, looking at the ears there is a slight magenta cast but that doesn't take anything away from this great image.

Very nicely done. The parallel position of the heads makes this very strong. Constrast between the browns and greens is also nice. Agree with the others that a bit of adjustment with curves would make a strong image even stronger.

A beautiful shot - excellent. Slight USM and a slight reduction in magenta would make this awesome in my opinion.
