    A very cool, and unusual behavior image, Charles. The grass on the antlers makes this one special. I also like the look of the OOF grass in the foreground. You might consider cropping some of the dark area off the top and cloning the white blob to the left of the deer's head. Well done.

    Great shot! Like the grass in the antlers and the OOF vegetation in front of the deer.

    Charles,
    The head gear makes this special. I like photographing through the foreground. Nice feel.

    Nice rack on this whitetail and the grass is a nice touch. I also like the blurred FG. I might've kept the shaded eye a little darker as it does have a bit of a "fixed" look to it but I tend to not mind shadows.
