The Old Ghost
by Ed Williams
This was a very large six by four mule deer buck at the Tulelake National Wildlife Refuge a few days ago. I don't know if he is bling in the left eye, or if it is just the reflection from the bright sun, but his eye looks white. He was one of five nice bucks that were browsing near the road. The yellow rabbitbrush was almost high enough to hide him standing up, but those antlers stuck out sharply above it all. Canon 5Diii, f10, 1/2000 sec, iso 800, -0.7 EV, 100-400 ISL ii with 1.4 TC at 560 mm, 90% of full frame, handheld from car window. Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions.

5 commentsI like this composition and the placement of the Buck in the frame. This really shows the illusive nature of the environment and the Big Bucks in general. Nice detail where it counts and wonderful color pallet.
Well done . . .
