Ran into this great little stag today face to face. Got one frame and then he was off. Second frame of him showing his heels which I'll add to this. In twelve years I've seen many many does but this is the first stag I've seen.

I like both shots...but the 2nd one is *really* cool to me... No idea why other than it just appeals to me...great light, and I like the comp...
Cool!!!

That second one sure demonstrates why they are named whitetails! Cool shots, Bill

Both very nice--i really like the select focus and great catchlight in the first shot!

I'm with Michael, I like the 2nd one too. I like the position of the deer - the angles of his body, his legs, his ear and tail. The light is appealing as are the fall colors in the background that he appears off to. I like it very much Bill! The first one is nice too.

The second one is called "A clean pair of heels!" :-)

Great focus and exposure in both! I like both, for the pose and the action.

Bill great exit shot! Don't know if you photographed it around here but white tail are far and few between.
