White-tailed deer

[Jasper Doest]

During the ICF Pro-Tour earlier this year I was looking for a location to get an environmental photograph like this...but I couldn't get it. After the award ceremony I went back to the ranch to give it another try and this time I was more lucky.

Handheld, leaning on a fence

Beautiful image, Jasper. I especially like that his entire rack is in the green BG and not lost in the woods behind him.

Does have a great feel Jasper Sure wish you could have found it before !!!

I agree with Julie. Nice image Jasper!

Getting the whole deer in front of the green BG makes this work really well. I think the framing with the trees in sharp focus with the deer provides a nice contrast with the deer and helps set it out from the BG.
