Nice, dark individual. I presume this was a few weeks ago judging by the colour of the leaves?

This looks like a low POV JR ....where you on the ground? Nice image although it does not stand out the same as the others as it is dark against a dark backdrop.

Interesting point. I am sitting abot 14 feet off the ground ! Deer very rarely look up (well they dom't here!),so he's actually looking at the base of the hide below me.. They,re just a bit stupid. :frown: Can't do much about black on black on a dull day I,m affraid.

Now those antlers could do you some damage. Excellent shot and i like the contrast between the white antlers and the dark body and background.

Those antlers do stand out nicely in what is a very appealing picture John. :wink:
