Shooting data: 7D, 300 2.8, 1.4TC, ISO400.

Whilst waiting for buzzards last week, in vain, I had a very brief chance to shoot two roe deer charging over the fields after being spooked by something. The 7D AF performed brillianty.

fantastic action image! The OOF deer in the background adds something for me

Great capture of one of my favourite mammals. I don't think I remember ever seeing shot of a running Roe Deer before. I've tried it but normally you can't follow them because of trees. Very good composition and I agree with Adam that the other deer really adds to the image. I love the snow being thrown up to because it gives a real sense of speed. The AF certainly nailed the focus on that one.

Perfect action picture! The roe in the back looks more like a cangaroo I love it.

Great image, agree that the oof deer really adds to the image & you do get a real sense of the movement.

[Peterm]

stunning, shot straight on, man I would love to see this is vertical format. That second roe really adds to the shot giving it even more speed and they are free from each other.
