I love how you show the scale of the forest behind the buck, rather than cropped it out. Great light, too.

Thanks very much Jane, yes this can be a great spot to photograph wildlife with the tall trees behind.

Beautyful and nicely lighted scene Debra. Looking at your recent photos it is obvious that you love to photograph those deers. And you'r doing so well at it. Appreciate your description too.

Debra Plett

Yes, I do love to capture moments in time with both the does and bucks. Something about watching them really seems to warm my heart. Thanks very much for your appreciated comments Yves.

Description
for a very good reason. He was defending a doe. Just after sunrise we spotted this gorgeous buck quite a distance out in the field but not hiding in the trees. I stayed for five minutes or so, however, did not spot a doe. Next image and an hour late the doe is visible in the field of grass.
