Alert Buck

Gallery: WildlifePosted December 7, 20033,541 views11 comments

Just one of the many Big Boys roaming the park and spreading the genes. This one looks as though he's seen a few seasons and getting fairly old.
Shot this weekend as part of the TNP get together. All had a great time and are planning future trips.

Pete - this is SWEET!! Beautiful light on this handsome guy! Excellent composition that shows habitat, but isn't distracting at all. Well done!!! We did have a total blast this weekend - more trips are definitely on the horizon!

Nice portrait. I think the vegetation adds a lot. Where is this?

Wow. This is a great portrait. I would bet tempted, however, to clone that little bit of vegetation just above his nose.

Great shot Pete, I like the way the buck is framed by the vegetation! Congrats

Now that's a nice deer portrait. I loke the vegetation all around the frame and even the branch over the nose, which addsd depth. I'll be anxious to see what else you all got this trip. It certainly looks like the light was nice!

Nice one Pete. I especially like the vegetation framing the deer.

Terrific shot, Pete. I think the vegetation (even the little sprig on his nose) adds a great deal to this shot.
