Park fallow in snow
I photographed several common-coloured bucks with better antlers but I was drawn to the look of this young white buck in the snow. Does this work or would a normal buck with full antlers make a better image?

Thanks for looking

Terry

Both would work in different ways. This is what it is a lovely shot of a buck in the snow. If you have other "normal" coloured bucks lets see them.

Well done

this works very well in my opinion, I'm sure your other shots would too. Snow always adds an extra dimension to shots and this is no exception. Very atmospheric.

Really like this terry, the snow adds that extra dimension and creates a great scene. Wonder whether a tad off the right? Do post the others - I'm jealous, the closest I've been is the two the train passed this morning! :smile:

Not sure if this is allowed but I'll try to sneak it in.

Similar specs as before

Very nice! (Both!) The only thing about the white buck, is that it could get a bit lost in the snowy background. But both are lovely, really atmospheric, I like the cold feel of the first one, and the pose of the second is nice too.

Whilst I agree that the white buck gets a bit lost against the BG, it is still a very fine shot!
