Howard, your trying to get my goat, showing me more deer muching on yard plants.... one just denuded my butterfly milkweed last night!  This is a great catch on the browsing action with the open mouth, eye and ear pointing toward the camera and the hanging leaves.  The overcast conditions really let the details show well.  I would be jealous, if the critters didn't make my gardening life so difficult. enlightened

Wow!  At 300mm you must have been pretty darn close to this deer! Nice timing on the shot and superb focus and detail.  Very nice, Howard!  devil
