Another great shot of Bullseye resting on a carpet of dried autumn leaves. I have a feeling that the buck knows that you are there, but he must have been quite used to you. He is standing out so well from the lovely background.

The photo is of course sharp and it is indeed clear and well defined details to be seen in every part of the buck. The exposure is spot on.

The format works so well and Bullseye has got a fine placement within the frame. I think this is a truly lovely and well taken photo Lee Ann, and with an excellent DOF. I wish you luck with the contest.

    thank you for the wonderful review, Annie; he always knew I was around, I was often only 8 or 10 feet from him, we had a very unique bond, for which I am eternally grateful for. Thank you so much for the extra star!

What a fabulous shot of this majestic animal. He is truly at home in his surroundings. Everything is clear and balanced. I could watch these fellas all day. I don't know how people kill them.
Great capture. Good luck in the contest!

    Many thanks, for me, he will always be the most beautiful buck i will ever photograph; the day he died he took a huge piece of my heart with him; I am very honored by your extra star.

A very good looking nature image presented here! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of that tired deer. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Nicely done!

Ah! He's a beauty and best wishes in the wildlife contest. I remember your speaking of Bullseye. He is rather majestic. The bed of forest leaves are lovely as is the background.

This is such a lovely shot of the deer! You've done a great job with the framing, and the way the light, shadows, and colours interact is really pleasing to the eye. Good luck!

    Thanks very much; basically I was running out of titles i could use; he was so majestic looking lying up in the woods, like a king overlooking his land.

running all day makes a buck tuckered..lol.. nice capture. the angle of the shot of this buck chilling on the leaves keeping a good eyes view in between the trees is great. the capture of the light is great. the clarity is great. the presentation is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall
