As I was walking by, she turned her head and held the pose like a good girl.

Had I waited after she cleared, I would have got a good shot of the fawn that was following....instead of it's backside. :cry

    Looks a bit soft from a slow shutter speed. If you are close you can always use the pop up flash for fill.

    True enough....but...when you are set up for taking birds in bright light and are surprised by the opportunity....you take the shot. Next time, if I have time, I'll just switch to auto and hope for the best. (so the flash will fire)

    Thank you, Dick.

    Sometimes the capture of a moment is more important than the perception of quality.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
