    Thanks for looking, comments and critiques appreciated.

    Dandy buck Todd. Like the view. Out of focus vegetation makes this interesting for me.

    Todd,
    The image is sharp, you nailed the focus, the pose of the oof Doe makes this work for me.

    This is a great example Todd where the OOF grass really puts the viewer in your shoes, a fine specimen, very nice indeed.

    Nice to see you posting again Todd. Good lucking buck here and I like the degree of OOF grasses (can still see some legs). Also like the reddish trees in the BG. They provide a nice color contrast.

    Cool image, Just enough in focus, and the colors are muted and pleasant.

    Hi Todd,
    I am the odd woman out here because I find the OOF doe distracting. The buck is gorgeous though and I like how the OOF grasses frame him. Great colors in the BG,
    Gail

    Hi Todd - unfortunately I agree with Gail. My first thought was that I wish the doe was in focus too. I agree about the colors and the buck but for me the oof doe detracts from the image.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    I always tend to like OOF animals in the shot more than most...and this is no exception...
    Lovely low angle here, as mentioned it puts you "right there"...

    And yes, good to see you posting again. Would be interested in your ongoing thoughts on the D7000, I have enjoyed mine and it has proved quite a bit of camera for the buck!

    Thanks for the comments everyone. Gail and Rachel, no worries on not liking the oof doe. Differing opinions is what makes the world go around. Morkel, so far I am enjoying the D7000 and yes I don't think you can beat the dollar value with this camera. Was waiting for the new bodies but decided to grab this just before the price stabilization went into place so I saved a few bucks. Glad I did .

    Todd
