Nice feeling here...I like the motion of the neck turned to the side. I am wondering if it might be even better if you cropped off some from the right & eliminated the longest piece of grass there.

Great lighting and pose. Heck, I even like the grass clump and the small bush, which add balance to the image!

Very nice Jack and in fact one of your best IMO. Great light, nice low perspective, good selective focus and a pleasing comp. :toast:

The light is sweet, I really like the pose and the buck stands out beautifully from the BG. Excellent shot!

beautiful shot; lights and pose are very interesting. I would crop the right to eliminate the vertical long stem, and shorten a bit on the left to re-equilibrate the frame, if it was mine. The large shot would need of a bit of more light, to me.

Cheers, Luca

Great light and pose. I like the narrow focal zone and if it were mine I would experiment with a crop to eliminate the green bush on the left and an appropriate (for balance) panel from the right.
