Chital mother and fawn - a tender moment

We surprised this mother and fawn early morning at the break of dawn in Dudhwa - Sathiyana range. Chital is such a common sight in Indian jungles, however this tender moment so symbolic of life force touched us deeply.

Lovely moment captured. The tall grass in the background displays the habitat well and also compliments the subject. Good eye contact from the mother. I liked the composition. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.

Nice image.The composition looks fine with tall grass of terai landscape. The fawn's lovely positioning captured at the right moment. Thanks for sharing. SaktiWild

Nice composition. The deer is alert and may move over its leg in a moment or two if it gets threatened. The top portion looks a bit dark and blurred. Did you do noise reduction and sharpening? The details are less and the over sharpening has led to jagged edges in the grass. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks. Yes Sabyasachi have over sharpened it a bit to bring our the tension in the frame. Perhaps a bit over...

Nice moment captured. The fawn looks big, the eye contact is nice. Thanks for sharing.
