This is the last image I took before I crashed and burned, breaking the lens totally off from the camera body and ending my day. I was backing away from this guy to get him totally in the frame when a log "jumped up" behind me and sent me flat on my back. The mount on the lens was broken and the entire mounting system on the body was destroyed. What a sinking feeling!
All is repaired now (CPS) and working fine.

Wild logs are so unpredictable Bob! They have a nasty habit of attacking you when you least expect it.

Good to hear you are ok and the camera has recovered.

Wonderful look and attitude with this handsome buck, he has a great presence and I can see why you just had to get the shot. Beautiful detail all round and a really fine image.
