Amazing photography, Dan!
As close to perfection as is possible. Sublime light, poses, DOF and processing.
You even get catchlights in the eyes! Absolutely professional caliber work that's a real joy to behold.

Great portraits, Dan. I especially like the lower angle perspective in #2

#2 is great for the reasons John gave. The 1st is unfortunately missing feet... otherwide it would be outstanding.

I see you're still lugging your big stuffed deer buck around with you. How else to explain the sheer perfection of this beast, and your photos of it?

Oh my... #1... wow... what a portrait!

Nice, as others mentioned above. Maybe a little too yellow for my taste. Backing off the yellow would also deepen the blue sky.

#1 is amazing! That is one pretty large muley. Top shelf all the way... as usual!

I really like the second photo. It seems a bit bright on my screen. Thanks for sharing. :smile:

Great comps. Beautiful animals. They seem a bit bright to me too.

You are pro now, right? This stuff must be selling "like hotcakes!" You definitely have this wildlife thing down to an "ART!" :toast:

Quite the majestic shots.
