Those dratted flies have to be the bane of existence for wildlife and livestock alike and you can see it so well here in her perplexed expression. This is such a great action shot, Debra, with a beautiful subject and it certainly tells a story.

Yes she was really struggling to get the flies off her ears before she looked up at us. She was also called for her mom who wasn’t to far behind. Thanks Heather.

Nicely captured, this quick action shot is so cool and the subject looks so inquisitive/startled at seeing you while totally engulfed it what it was doing.

Debra Plett

Thank you Clifford. She was calling for her mom while trying to shake off the black flies.

Jane LeBlanc

Great job on a moving target, Debra. Nice light and composition for a quick shot!!

Debra Plett

Thanks very much Jane. She couldn’t get away from the flies fast enough.

Yves Langlois

Cool shot Debra. Kind of funny pose and a real cutie. Those young ones often make funny moves while discovering life in the wild. Appreciate the sharp focus and nice lighting too.

Debra Plett

Thank you very much Yves. The fawn was trying to shake and run at the same time. Very cute to watch.

Description
This white-tailed fawn came running out of the bush with the black flies chasing her. She was trying to scratch and run and the same time when she spotted me. The doe was not too far away.
