This is Texas and the deer are wary. Hunting season is on but the rut is on too.
Thanks for looking at my picture and for any comment.

Hi Jack,
The colours here are pretty eye-catching, to say the least. I like the pose of the deer and where you positioned it in the frame - well done. To my eye (and on my monitor), the background looks a little too vivid - if the image were mine I'd experiment with slightly desaturating the oranges and possibly reducing the exposure a little (probably no more than 1/2 stop). If you try this, it might even be worth slightly bumping the exposure on the deer. Just a thought...
Cheers...thanks for sharing this...

I'm with Brad on the saturation issue, but nice job on the comp. Why such a high ISO? Maybe try lowering your iso with the combination of a solid tripod and shutter release with mirror locked up.

Great buck with nice color. I think some additional sharpening would make it pop.

Beautiful colors and great light and comp. Could use just a little sharpening.

The fall colours are fantastic and the extra sharpening in the re-post does help separate the buck from the background.
