Nice shot. Always seems they know where to pose when the light is less than we would like. Good job with it. Another year or so and he will have a great set.

Good catch, Joe. I'd like to see the top cropped down to just below the bright leaf, as that tends to draw my eye away from the buck.

Beautiful buck, Joe. In a perfect world he would be better lit, but you did well under the circumstances.
What Toni said. This is a very nice capture. Eliminating some of the brightest highlights with a simple crop helps the eye focus on the buck and makes the overall image even better, IMO.

Very nice buck capture. You must've been pretty close to this beautiful animal. I agree about the crop. Nice behavior shot as well.

Yes the backlighting was a challenge, he offered me several shots, as he was preoccupied with another buck on the other side of a cattle fence. They actually fought through the fence..
