    This is outstanding, Dan! Beautiful portrait, love the fur texture, eye contact, subtle colors, and real nice soft BG.
    Minor, but I might be tempted to clone out tips of reeds sticking above the ears. Excellent capture and compostion!

    Super detail Dan, you can even see the bumps on the nose. I like the color and diffused look of the grass.

    Superb image Dan. I too like the comp, detail and above all the wonderfull light in this image. The tips of reed don't bother me as they suit the caption and are quite subtle.

    Like the way the head is poking out of the OOF green areas. Nice portrait.

    Hi Dan,
    I like the wonderful background, POV, detail, eye contact and the seperation between your subject and the background, TFS.

    Thanks all for the nice comments. I don't get a lot of wildlife photos, in fact, I was walking in a bird refuge looking for birds
    when this guy/gal appeared in the wetland. It was a gray misty early morning, so the light and the diffused grass was
    just kind of fortunate.
    I am in awe of most of what I see here.

    A very endearing portrait captured here Dan - soft light worked well too.
    Gives one the feeling of an unexpected sighting - "happen to stumble across a buck while out on a stroll" or something...
