Found some more mule deer at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal. Some of those bucks get pretty big. Thanks for looking.

Hi Dan,

Clean, bright BG makes this one for me. I like the dark on body to spotlight affect on the head dappled lighting.

Vertical cut at a good place on the body.

Thanks Robert. Was just sarting to lose that warm light, but he came out in the nick of time!

Hi Dan, I would echo Roberts opening comments, however for me, this image has an almost 3D quality about it which I haven't really seen in an image before, you could almost touch those antlers.

Dan,

Amazing depth to this and very nice lighting.

Is it now safe to go to this old "dumpsite"?

Dan,

Beautiful capture and comp of a magnificent animal. As you say, this one was right on the edge of the best light.
