Rim-Lit Mule Deer (Button Buck)

[Danny J Brown]

Taken at Badlands National Park this past summer. I was shooting almost into the sun, near sunset, but the resulting image seemed interesting and I loved the setting. Submitted for your consideration. Thank you.

Love the habitat shown in this image and the pose works well for me with still good eye contact. The backlighting is also very effective and there is still good detail all round. Well done Danny.
