White tail buck
Went out to Spitler Woods Conservation Park last Saturday and found ths handsom fellow. There's a little noise because of the low early morning light. I didn't due any cropping - afraid the noise level would go even higher.

Comments/critiques welcome.

Canon xti, ISO 400, 70 - 300mm zoom all the way out.

Very nice Louis, I like how the trees frame the buck, I know how hard it is to get close to a nice buck like this, well done !!

Nice shot, seems everything worked trees, leaves, deer and you were there to catch it.

Thanks for the encouragement. I did indeed get lucky on having him framed by the trees. I'll post a shot of the doe that was with him shortly.

Here's the doe that was with the buck. She had a little more sunlight than he did.

Brian, you have a really nice portfolio of these deer on your website. I'm envious!! How long did it take to accumulate this many shots of white tails?
