Hog Deer

Recently, I was searching for pictures of Hog Deer and came across this frame. Very shy creatures, who normally hide in the herd of Spotted Deers....may be due to their fading spots. :biggrin:
Thank you so much for your kind attention & views!
Canon 5D III; 500mm; 1.4X; ISO 400; 1/1000 sec at F 7.1.

Maybe they are so shy because the chital looks so pretty with their spots and white markings. Nice action shot of this hog deer. Maybe they want a better name! Looks a bit tight in the frame, would like to see just a little more on the bottom if possible. Thanks for sharing, I think this is the first hog deer I have seen in the gallery.

Neat deer, well captured and processed. I enjoy seeing creatures that are less than familiar. The rim lighting is nicely managed and the only nits are tiny and probably subjective. I find the dark spot in front of the extended front leg slightly distracting and ideally with this cool posture I would wish to see all four hooves!

I like the action, also wish the other hoof was visible, but not much can be done about that. If mine, I would be tempted to lighten the shadows a touch more.
