@AshishNimkar Sometimes you need just that little luck,... early morning with fresh, untouched snow. The deer crossing the path in front of you, the sun out, but still very low and warm, the right lens, etc.
Nice shots...They look like gods....!!
Opposite sunshine made their skin highlighted..very nice exposures..!!
