On Guard

This was taken when the rut was just starting and this buck was guarding the doe. Two other 8 pt bucks had just finished fighting off to the side of this buck. Great time for me! Not so much for the two bucks!

Grea light and I like the surrounding grass. The dark background helps bring out the antlers.

Good shot, Jack. A tiny nit to my eye is just the pose you were given...In a perfect world I would think both the ears on the doe sould be forward, so they would highlight against the dark background the same as the buck's. Of course, this is a matter of circumstance and out of your control.

Nice looking buck. You caught him nicely placed between the trees and the antlers really stand out. The doe kind of gets lost among the grass and branches in the BG.
