An October Portrait of a Fallow Deer

This photograph captures a moment of profound tranquility within what is likely the deer enclosure at Slottsskogen park in Gothenburg. A young Fallow Deer, distinguished by its spotted coat that provides camouflage among the dappled light of the forest, is seen peacefully foraging. The ground, a tapestry of moist earth, green grass, and the scattered gold of fallen autumn leaves, provides a rich, textural backdrop. The animal's focused demeanor, with its head lowered in search of sustenance, suggests a quiet harmony with its environment, undisturbed by the world outside its woodland habitat
