What a great thread with some really neat shots!

Cara: I love that photo, and I love it because the eyes aren't in focus and the nose is. I think it allows the viewer to connect the fawn's experience a bit more. I don't think she cared too much about anything other than the plant right at that moment. So for what it's worth, I think it's much neater the way it turned out. It gives her a lot more character. I guess it can become a question on intent on the part of the photographer. Are you trying to capture her experience or your own?
