A seriously impressive shot given it was taken at 100m, no shortage of cute factor! Could you alter the crop at all just to add a little 'breathing' space on the right hand side?

Thanks Neil, cheers canonman,,, thanks for looking and your thoughts )
hi gothgirl, thanks for looking and your thoughts on the noise, which one do you notice the noise on? on one...both? think I have become oblivious to it although I think my eyes can just pick it up on the second one. I had to shoot at a higher than normal iso to keep shutter speed up as I was hand holding and light was a bit dim, think I did apply an amount of noise reduction but if I remember I lost detail while doing so tried to find a happy medium, you either have good monitor or eyes like a hawk
No, I didn't find what I was looking for this time, a Kingfisher,, but well happy I got the Deer and it was definitely worth the time in the hide as I managed to capture a few unusual angry bird shots, the most memorable being a seagull being beaten up by two Coots and a Common Tern for pinching the baby chicks from the nest.
I'm glad you got some interesting shots
Well my monitor is an old toshiba satellite laptop that I've had for about 7 years and is held together by gaffa tape (literally) ....
I see a small amount of noise on all 3, not enough to distract from the image at all, but mainly on the first one in the background... Hope that helps

Excellent, thanks for you honest thoughts gothgirl, really appreciate that
Something for me to keep eye on next time, reduce noise so gothgirls gaffa taped monitor doesn't pick it up
lol, think I need a trip to specsavers, think I will refer to you as hawk eyes from now on in
Rather an ironic nickname for someone with vision as poor as mine lol !
I like these - nice compersition..
First off - lovely shots, I'm very envious of you as I've been actively trying for the last couple of months to get similar and not come anywhere near anything as clear as these. 2nd one is definitely the pick for me although I'd be more than happy with any of them!
Interesting to see the comments about noise... To be honest, I would say there almost the opposite problem. I may be way off, but to me they look as if they've had a bit too much noise reduction applied and probably a bit too much sharpening done to compensate for loss of detail which is giving a slightly soft, "painted" look to the deer and a slightly mottled, but not actually noisy, look to the backgrounds. I'd be really interested to see the original shot - I reckon slightly different processing could make them look even better.
