Pierre,
Great catch. I know a few hunters that would love to have seen this buck with the large symmetrical rack. Posted: 12/07/2024 01:21:59

He was a big boy. I was planning on walking on that trail, crossing right in front of him, but decided to do a little detour! Posted: 12/07/2024 01:43:40
Yes, he was armed. Posted: 12/07/2024 02:05:04
Agree. My camera was not made to defend myself from that rack! Posted: 12/07/2024 02:11:47
Are they really that dangerous? We get some feral deer but they always seem to run away. Posted: 12/09/2024 20:07:54
Hi Diane, It is the mating season. If a buck stands up and stump its hoof, one must back up! No problem with does. Posted: 12/09/2024 20:29:19
I do like this capture & am not sure what I can suggest for improvement. I'll wait & see what the others come up with. Posted: 12/09/2024 20:09:30
Love the picture. Nothing to add.
And, yes, those bucks, during the rut, are mean!! Posted: 12/11/2024 14:28:59

Great capture of the Stag who looks completely relaxed. The background is busy, but the rack does stand out. I would probably darken the background to create even more separation. Posted: 12/11/2024 18:33:47
Thanks for the very good suggestion. Posted: 12/11/2024 19:14:36
I think that this is a great capture. I agree with Mervyn that the background is busy. I am unsure if the background should be darkened or lightened but I think that would help to separate the subject from the background. I think all of your current changes really help to focus us on the deer. Posted: 12/16/2024 19:07:20
Thanks Jacob. Posted: 12/16/2024 23:23:50
