Since I haven't gotten up to the higher elevations for fall color this year and I am not much of a landscape photographer anyway, I thought I would share a photo I took that does have some fall color in it - sort of. Sorry the photo quality isn't better, the subject is beautiful.

The picture is great. I assume it is an albino, but the eyes and nose don't look quite
right for an albino.

Thanks, Art. The buck is not albino because he does have some pigment. A bird colored like this would be called leucistic or partial albino but I am not sure what to call this buck. I'll have to ask one of the DOW biologists. Another white buck and two white fawns have been seen in the area.

Nice shot. I really like the comp. and the light.

Wow what a majestic animal. I never knew these white deer were a possibility! I saw a white fox once in Indian Peaks... I thought that was odd. Great shot.

Yeah, great shot. The light is amazing here. I would just suggest darkening the whole image.
