Whitetail Fawn From Pit-Blind


kevin_spatt

This image was secured within the city limits of Milwaukee, WI, from a four feet deep pit-blind with a custom roof designed to blend in with the surroundings. Mosquitos are a problem, but HomeTown Suds help to fend them off.

I'm new to this site, trying to figure out how it shakes down. My

favorite spot in Milwaukee is my pit-blind, outside of crawling into

burning buildings in search of the seat of a fire. Does this work for

anyone?

Great image. I feel I can reach out and touch it. Nice colors, too. I know the equipment is not under review here, but I am going to have to try the reversals more.

I AGREE WITH EVERYONE ELSE. GREAT IMAGE. WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT BOTH WAYS, WITH AND WITHOUT THE BLUR AT THE BOTTOM. THIS IMAGE IS PROBABLY SALEABLE. Kevin

Lovely exposure on the fawn. The rear leg hitched up at the odd angle is (for me) more distracting than the grass blur. Still, a real keeper.

great light, great color. I like how you have the deer positioned in the frame with her head looking back into the frame. Would have been nice if you could have avoided the foilage in the foreground intruding just a little bit less. Maybe you could have raised the camera a little. Of course that might have spooked the deer, and would have kept you from shootin the deer at eye level. Of course now that I've read your details, I see that the pit blind may have had something to do with it.

Well done. Lovely bokeh in the green. Thoughtful of the fawn to pose so nicely for you! Kidding, of course...I'm sure you had to wait patiently for such a shot...umm, photo.

As much as I like this shot, I can appreciate the other image of the deer looking up better, for the simple reason that there is no catch-light in the fawn's eye. I don't mean to sound like a technical geek about it, but it really made a difference in the other picture. Nevertheless, this is an amazing piece of artistry here, and I'm blown away by your ability to capture such idyllic photographs. I've been planning on trying the pit/blind technique myself this summer. I hope I can have something approaching your success.
