This one is one from a few weeks ago I never got around to posting it. I like it because It conveys to me the buck making a choice to cross or not to cross.
Danger and gamble come to mind on this shot for me.

And this is from today, a beautiful Whitetail buck not to shabby in the antler department either.

He did not hang around for long, and took off running right after this shot.

Cheers

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks Iceman I was hoping for more of the Whitetail but ... they just do not like hanging around like a mulie does.

    When I took the road crossing shot I was talking to a man walking his dog and I said I would kill for the deer crossing sign (which is about 50 meters away)to be in the shot. I am still waiting for the eventful day when I can capture a deer crossing at an "actual provincial approved" deer crossing .rolleyes1.gif

    Nice Shots.
