A classic pose of this most beautiful deer. The OOF grass in the FG is slightly distracting, but only a little. Thanks for sharing. Wish I had taken it.

Hi Jagdeep,

Great head-turn and I like the simplicity of this shot - no "extra" elements competing for one's attention! Techs seem spot-on, and I like your overall composition here - in particular the buck is nicely positioned in the frame. I agree with John about the out-of-focus grasses in the foreground being a bit distracting, but they're definitely not a big deal.

Cheers...

Brad

Excellent pose, good exposure and detail. I think it all fits together very nicely. The ears out showing curiosity combined with the facing away position in case flight is the option are classic for the deer I know around here. :toast:

Hello Jagdeep

Nice capture with the head turn. All nits already mentioned.

Has a very interesting look of intensity. not sure if unique to this species but really captures my eye!
