A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of that handsome deer in a snowy field. No snow here in the UK, just wind and rain. Nicely done!

A wonderful photo Kathy! I especially like the off-center framing and the black-and-white presentation is lovely! You definitely get a chill looking at this photo and I can see how foggy the distance is, but it also helps to provide a wonderful soft backdrop for this young buck. Excellent focus with all of the details showing And you have a wonderful POV. Very nice, thank you for sharing!

    Thank you so much - it was a challenging shot given the fog and absent of light.

Great image of this Mule Deer Buck in first snow Kathy. He seems aware of your presence in this one. Great focus on deer and grass. Good texture and clarity and a very pleasant black and white image with foggy background. Well done and thanks for sharing :-)

    Thank you, Mark - interestingly, this is a color photo - however due to the highly filtered sun and dense fog it appears to be black and white. Thank you so much for taking a look and offering this kind and supportive review.

Kathy this young buck made a great black and white shot. I like the very blurred background and the nice sharp blades of grass in the foreground. The nice straight on look is perfect. Focus is sharp. Well done and reminder as to what lies ahead.

    Thank you so much for this lovely review. It's not a black and white - but presents that way, due to the immense fog and muted sun. I do appreciate the added star to warm my heart as we get through this first snow storm. Thank you so much.

Hi Kathy, Looks like this guy is wondering what happened to his favorite morsels and thinks you know! LOL Love the look on the buck's face. I think you positioned him well to in the image. Very nice lighting and focus too! Love the storytelling possibilities of this image!
Nice Job! :o) Nancy

    Thanks Nancy - I'm glad you like this little guy. I missed 2 bobcats today - they were on my patio lapping up water from the melting snow. I need to be better prepared with the camera.

A very realistic and natural looking capture of the male deer. You framed it well. The contrasts, focus and the overall mood have worked well. Good effort

Kathy,
A beautiful black and white picture of the Mule Deer in the first snow of the winter in Colorado standing his eyes fixed on you & his ears cocked listening to you. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
