Fall Classic

Taken last week here in Minnesota... I'm pretty sure the hunters would like to see this bruiser.

Nice image Mike. Looks like he's flexing for you. I like the pose and the colors. Has a real nice Fall feel to it. I might take a little bit of the OOF ground off the bottom.

Thanks, Steve! I had sent this image out to a good friend (photog) and he mentioned the crop as well. I agree with both of you and re-cropped from the full frame image seen above.

Great animal Mike, I have been trying to get a photo of a drop down tine buck for two years and I always see him after the light has fades. Will not flash as then he will never come back as he did not get big from being stupid. Crop looks great also taking a little off the left gives more space the way he is looking.

Being a whitetail guy this is a great find.

Lovely pose and colourful backdrop. The repost looks excellent, although it does look a bit soft.

Love the muted colors of fall here. Image is well composed especailly after the bottom crop. Nice catchlight in the eye whcih is well placed on on upper left pp. BG is nicely blured. Well done.

Lovely colours. I like the cropped version better. Like this image.

Mike,

The recrop works very well. It is what I would have suggested.
