I like the setting here, and the buck is well exposed. you did great with the conditions - the wet fur adds a lot. pops well from the OOF BG, I would have loved to see the angle a tad lower but being in your car that's out of the question. :)
Interesting with the wet-looking fur, Steve. Good sharpness, pose, comp, and exposure. The only things I'm not that fond of are the stems "poking" him in the butt. :)
Well composed image Steve. Environment compliments him nicely. I agree the Steve Mason on the stems at the rear but as you mentioned, he stopped - looked - you made two images and he was off.
