Into the Jaws of....

Well it looks like he's headed into the jaws of the fuzzy green deer grabber. Same buck as my last post but he's lost he companion from then. Still focused on the doe. They moved on and out of sight so I don't know the outcome of his quest. I noticed that his nose is a little pushed in. Have no idea why. I'll have to try for a better head shot to look more carefully. I played some with this with about a 50% crop then added warmth, vibrance, and contrast. Does this work as sort of a humorous image? Comments are appreciated.

It does work as a humorous image. It would be more so if the deer grabber was in focus. Thanks for sharing.

It does look like a big gnarly hand is reaching out. The nose is interesting. I too have noticed some of the deer at the Nature Center with deformities and/or injuries. Most od the time it does not hinder them. Interesting shot.

The big out of focus branch looks like a big snake challenging him! I don't know if it works as humorous, but it is certainly a factor. Too bad you did not have some additional light to work with.
