Excellent as always Kurt! How far away from the birds are you when you shoot and do you use a blind? The Downey is a really cool catch...didn't know they fancied mullein. I also didn't know there were white-tailed deer in Colorado. They are so much sleeker than mulies.

Excellent on all counts. You need to contact the Audubon Society. They could use some of your bird images.

Great images Kurt! Love the whitetail. The bird images have some great detail!

The kingbird on the barbed wire is really nice. Those light-colored feathers must make an exposure nightmare.

Exemplary work yet again! I like how the tall yellow plants punctuate the scene with the deer (didn't even know we had white tailed deer in CO).
Love the 'happy face' on the Western Kingbird and the gradient bokeh behind the sparrow, and the 'development' of all of these is perfect.
Getting catch lights in all of the animals' eyes makes such a big difference! Thanks again for sharing these with us.

Outstanding, Mr. Bowman! Such great background, light, color, processing, poses, and the last buck shot rocks!
