It may be just a few short weeks until the Elk rule my life in Rocky Mountain National Park, but for right now I'm working on other species like this Mule Deer who was no more than 8 feet from the road having a great supper.

Lovely work. The glow around the antlers and head angle are perfect. I would have liked a bit more room on the bottom for the virtual feet but you do have enough here.
Love the composition and pose as well as the excellent exposure and detail. The slight head turn and the great eye contact really makes this image for me. Congratulations Jared.
