Nice buck, great light. I also like your comp. and the way the buck stands out against the green trees.

Very nice Jack. I like the simplicity (light grass, dark BG, and a nice looking subject). I think this is one of your best.

Great pose! The dried foreground grass suits the buck's coloration nicely. I like the simple composition, it really emphasizes the deer. Looks sharp as well!

Jack, I cannot agree more that this is a near perfect image! The licght FG and dark BG make the subject very much the focal point and that subject is giving you an excellent pose. Very well processed too (no color issue :wink: ). Great work Jack, thanks for sharing. :toast:

Great Light. This has a very graphic quality to it with large areas of light and dark. When looked at in the larger view I like the way it keeps the detail.
Really nice capture.
Cheers

Nice light and I like the way the dark background helps bring out the deer.
