Deer (1 pic)

Went out today looking for a shot for the challenge, and came away
with this shot of a deer From Fort Snelling State Park in Mn. (it's no good
for the challenge, but oh well)

I hadn't used my D reb 300 or the Sigma 80-400os lately, so I figured
I take them out for a walk.



As always, thanks for looking.

Nice shot of the deer!!! I have a feeling that once this challenge is over, we will still all be looking for that shot..........and that is probably when we will find it!!!! I haven't found it yet.....:uhoh

Nice deer Dave. I like deer in the winter with their thick coat of fur.

Thanks.

Very nice Dave. Well composed and sharp.

Dave, I would take that shot over a challenge shot any day. I am not entering this challenge, just cannot imagine thinking up anything better than has already been entered or thought up.

But it is on my mind all the time.

A challenge shot, is a challenge shot, very often. Unless it wins, and then it becomes a bit more for me. But I have many shots I like better than my winning shots, there just was no challenge for the shot at that time.

Now, that deer, to me that is a keeper. Would look better on a coffee cup than my last challenge entries, or most of them, smile.

I would love to see a deer like that, to say the least of getting as good a photo.

Right on!!!
Excelent shot Dave! I love seeing these kind of shots. There are not enough photo's of deer/elk/antelope, etc. on this site. But plenty of birds! With all due respect to the bird shooters (and there are some GREAT ones out there) I have to go with shots like this. Very nice.

Harry, Ginger, Jim, Thanks.

I like to get some "critter" shots when I can, but living in town, those
chances don't come along everyday. But it sure is fun when it does.

relly good did you shot from a blind not as much action as a bird but still good ha ha:):

rene

Hey, you look awefully familiar...where have I seen you before?

p.s. I love that shot...I love how it's framed by the trees.

johno

It's the best way to shoot a deer in my opinion.

peace.

Thanks guys.

No blind used for this shot. I was just driving through the Park when I
saw 6-8 deer. This one stopped and posed for me in that small opening
in the woods. This is the only way I'll shoot a deer. I'm not much of a
blood and guts kind of guy. A lot of friends deer hunt, but it's just not for me.

Compo is terrific...

The curve of the tree to left matches the neck and the straight tree to the right follows the leg. :

Neat captue Dave, I like the way the Deer is framed in the trees in the foreground.
