Welcome parkins. I think your barely-there deer is terrific! There's a great sense of "blink and she'll be gone" as well as it being a comment on camouflage in nature.

If you want in-depth critique, check out For Your Consideration or the Photo Critique section. You can find these + all the other specialty forums of UHH by clicking on "all sections" at the bottom of this page.

Welcome aboard.

I like your sense of composition. These are very good.

I would have focused on the nearest anther on the upper apple blossom myself - easier said than done in low light with the wind blowing, etc. Also the image is a little grainy - high ISO?

Looks like you are focused a little behind the deer? Pretty grainy image, too. Great idea there.

Anyway, all of that is nit picking and you with practice and knowledge that can be improved upon, eh? No problem; keep shooting, keep posting. Glad to have you here. You have a good eye and that is the most important thing.

Mike

Thanks so much!
I have a Sony DSC-H300 with 35X optical zoom. I am just learning about all this so any help is appreciated.
With the deer picture, I think it was where it was snowing that it is a bit grainy. As for my Yoshino Cherry blossoms I may have been a few inches away from it. The detail was a happy accident. I know what I like to see though and know if I got a semi-good one or a really good one. Maybe I can learn some more in this forum and finally get some great ones!
