Crossing

Took this back in 2007 when I had my 30D. I was lucky to be in the right spot and the right time for these two!

Canon 30D, Ef100-400@400mm, 1/250sec, f/7.1, iso400, SP, eval metering, handheld, cropped away about 50% of image for this composition. Had to lower quality to fit size requirements.
C&C welcome

IMHO a very good deer in their environment image. Good exposure and detail. I just wish the deer were on the other side with the space in front of them instead of behind. But, sometimes you got to take what nature gives, and if this case you came up with a very good image. Thanks for sharing.

David, I like both images. I meant I would have liked to see the deer on the left side with the water in front of them. Realizing that you work with what your are given I think you did well and wish I had taken it!

Both versions work for me. Ideally the buck would have turned for you, to face that greater expanse of water!

Of course they don't always do what the photographer wants them to do.
