Same Buck - New POV

Gallery: WildlifePosted January 10, 2013116 views2 comments

My previous image of this buck showed him with a nice, ok rack but nothing special. As he was staying put, I thought I'd worked the possibilities from that position so I moved along the trail a bit which looped around and gave me a different view of him. That 2 (or 4 pointer) looked a bit more impressive from the front with the wide beam and fairly thick bases. Impressed on me, not to make a conclusion based on only 1 piece of the puzzle. Didn't do much to this image except to warm it just a little and to lightly sharpen. Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated.

Nice one Peter. Fairly busy BG and IMHO you did a good job of getting the buck clear w/o lots of stuff in the way. Maybe just a bit more brightening? Thanks for sharing.

Peter, you are working with busy backgrounds in the wildlife area! Here my only real critique would be to catch this fellow doing something rather than just lying there...to make the image less static, more dynamic.
