Nice shot! I had five deer in my back yard which is surrounded with forest. They were here all through spring and summer last year. I have not seen any of them since hunting season. I wish I could make them stay around here as they are such pretty creatures.

Hopefully they all made it through hunting season okay;if you start putting corn out when you see them,they will come around;we buy ours from a nearby Agway(100 lb bag) and in the winter we buy small bales of alfalfa from a nearby farmer. Thanks for the nice review!

Great looking shot!. Fine example of wild life photography. Your timing appears to be perfect and you have captured the calm look on Buck's face very well.Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so very much,some days he?s more tolerant of me than others,this was a good day!

Comment from Envision
This is a great portrait of the Bucker! I like the view of his antlers that this angle shows. You captured sharp detail of his face and fur. The texture of his coat stands out nicely and the colors look good.

A beautiful specimen and a great shot. I like this profile that shows off his antlers so well. A great eye and very nice colors in thes extra sharp image.

Comment from Lucas Sizov
Another great DSB!!! the portrait is good with excellent details. Only one suggestion: to soften the background's details. The dry grass behind him is little disturbing. But I like the photo anyway.

Great capture of this handsome buck, Bucker, pausing as he is grazing, antlers still intact. Thank you for the interesting notes accompanying this, too. Very good lighting and focus showing a nice sharp image. Lovely composition. Suzanne

Nice side profile view of this handsome buck , well focused, the image is clear, exposure is well managed, his colors and tones are natural. Nice detail in his fur, face and his antlers, nice look at his eye. Well composed and presented! I'm still waiting for my boy to show up!
