Very calm and pleasing photograph. I like the way the tree in the foreground frames the fawn. Technical question. When I enlarge the photograph and zoom in I see diagonal stripes across the whole image. Are you using some sort of filter? Posted one year ago

  Thanks. As for the diagonal lines in the background of the picture, I think it is my lens doing that (Sigma 150 - 600mm). The only filter I have is a Polaroid MC UV filter, basically for protecting the lens. It only happens sometimes, but it is annoying when it does. You can also see it in my picture of the White Admiral butterfly, top view. Yet it isn't there (thankfully) in most of my other pictures. Posted one year ago

    After posting my response I Googled the issue to see if this was a know issue with the Sigma lens. Turns out it is a known issue with UV filters. Not sure whether to take a chance with trying out a better (ie. more expensive) filter or ditch it altogether. Thanks for bringing this up. All this time I've been blaming my lens!
