Hi John ... a very cool behavior shot !!
TFS Andreas
Maybe a bit warm overall in terms of WB , but for sure a matter of taste .

[Jonathan Ashton]

I agree the bark looks a little orange but a fine shot, is he just having a scratch or is he scent marking - I guess his velvet has gone entirely.
I really like this one John.

[John Mack]

Yes, scent marking.

A lovely shot John, I like the behaviour and the composition. Made me smile. T F S.
