Hello John,

Sweet pose from this White-tail buck and I love the eye contact. As well as those antlers - I believe the appropriate name is 'velvet' ?

Nice colourful and vibrant BG, POV is good, crop works. Lovely detail and sharpness is spot on. I like this as presented, thank you so much for sharing:S3:

Kind regards,

Hi John -- A really nice image, and framing, going portrait has worked. Nice light and nice details as well. I liked those antlers, they look so good.

Fine work, TFS !

Nice one John and I don't mind the central framing.

I wonder if I am out of line here but the image looks a little over-saturated to me? You continue to amaze me with all your close deer encounters, I like the direct view into the buck's eyes.
