Great detail in this image.  Fine color and nice position of the bucks head.  Thanks for sharing.

A truly stunning portraiture of this very young buck, Howard. The close up detail is what makes this image a real standout IMO. The actual composition, color, and lighting all add to the fine look overall.

Just flat excellent all around......devil

I love seeing all the detail in this image Howard.  I'm used to seeing deer images from a much farther distance, so it's nice to see the close-up beauty in this face.  Perfect DOF and composition.

Howard,

Great detail in this one and a nice pose, if I was to be picky the nose could be sharper but no real problemdevil

This looks like a mugshot of the deer that has been enjoying my garden.  Nice pose and the details are fantastic--even the whiskers are revealeddevil......................................Jim

Howard: very nice framing with the young buck as a diagonal subject. The tech specs, and color palette are spot on. Richard
