A nice buck in some nice light for sure! Something wants me to see a bit more room above him, although he really isn't tight in the frame per se, if that makes any sense... :rolleyes:

Nice and WIDE rack! He looks very good, with the warm light exposure spot on and excellent detail. It is too bad he didn't further gift you with a more colorful or scenic background.

I like the complimentary BG colors here Jack. The DOF is perfect and isolates the subject nicely. All I would suggest is to brighten the shadows on its face and neck a bit.
