[Gary Esman]

Taken at Cades Cove, Smokey Mountains, Tennessee. Cloudy morning White Tail. 50D, 1/100, f/5.6, iso 500, 100mm-400mm shot at 130mm, handheld.

Thanks for looking and appreciate and C and C!

Gary.

Gary,

Well composed and alert look. I would prefer a bit more room at the feet but OK as posted. I would suggest a levels correction to set the white points higher and make the deer pop better.

You were CLOSE to get this at 130 mm. Try Robert's suggestion to help with the cloudy day.

My favorite animal on the planet and this one looks good. Nice comp, good sharpness, nice pose. I would love to see Roberts' suggestion applied.

Thanks all I will work on this image and re-post. Gary

I like the comp and this is a nice looking buck. Looks pretty accurate for the conditions you describe. Lightening it up does improve it a bit. Depends on what you want to represent and either way works.

[Rachel Hollander]

Agree with Robert about more room below and he has made a good suggestion.

TFS,

Lovely antelope here, Gary.
I have to agree with the space at the bottom and would have a look at applying Robert's good suggestions.

[Roman Kurywczak]

Hey Gary,
Room at bottom already mentioned as well as other tweaks. They will take this up a notch and make it shine!

Nice looking deer. Like the pose and eye contact.
