Saw these fellas grazing as a herd. Not a great shot I don't believe. Black and white made the best conversion for this. Taken about 15 minutes before sundown. Levels are turned up and it was hard to get a still shot keeping it in focus.

Can you see him? This is the image of most importance if you guys mind commenting on it. It was a surprise that I even noticed it while walking. I had to take the shot to remember what I saw. Its extremely subtle but works once you notice it.

Ok, this one is one of my favorites. After it got up it still had quite a bit of snow covered on it from the storm. Left the perfect shot for me. I feel bad you guys do not get to see the full version of this image. The sharpness is there but isnt noticeable here.

I like this shot. The way the land is makes it really neat! I prefer it over the first one for sure!

Oh..and more were posted since I was typing..ha ha! Love the hiding one! That is my favorite of the bunch!

Ok, last one I promise. I figured I would make a series of it if I were going to post all of these eventually. Anyways, this has always been my favorite of them all. Stumbled on this when I first got into photography. I had a terrible 300mm lens that cost maybe $100. It took the image for me, but I was on iso800 to get rid of the camera shake and the quality of the lens was terrible. No autofocus, I was amazed I got this. I used a consecutive 3 shot bracket hoping they I could get something before she got up and ran away. They just sat there and were extremely calm. This time the web version is the best version. Full size it looks pretty bad, but MOM LIKES IT! So do I. Its a good memory anyways.

i really like that 3rd one with the fuzzy velvet deer in the grass... thats a nice shot... maybe a bit too much out of focus stuff in the foreground, (could be cropped better maybe) but i like it.
and i really like the 2nd last one too, although i'd probably crop a tad more off the left. it would look great matted & framed i bet...
you sure live near lotsa deer! :)

The shots in posts 9 and 10 are my faves.. Sharpness/distance from subject are the biggest issues with these shots. So pleased to see that so many of us are on the same page with regard to critiquing this and other threads.:highfive:
