Hi Ken, good DOF, and I like the detail on the head and horns. I also like the layered BG.
Ken,
Stunning IQ with exacting DOF.

I love the "dead pan " look. The horns, eye contact, pose, rear legs sort of relaxed, but a ready to get going posture. The oof flowers up front help the eye to focus on the deer itself. With just enough room for the virtual feet, the horns have room as well, it is a nicely rounded image. Perhaps a bit brighter or more contrast for pop perhaps.
A keeper none the less.
Ken - I like this one as is. Nice to see another different animal and the IQ looks good.
TFS,
Rachel
Thanks everybody, your comments are greatly appreciated.
In particular those appreciating this wonderful antelope![]()
Lovely pose out in the open. I like the colors and inflorescens of the grass. A bit tight for me top and left.

Ken,
Just a real nice shot of a very interesting looking animal.
