This is definitely a grab shot! I was following a bird into the marsh with a spotting scope when this animal and I surprised each other. It has a few weeds on its body from foraging in the tall grasses. Image made with Swarovski HD80 scope and 1Ds; ISO 200, 1/400 sec. Have other images where the head is turned towards the viewer, but this one shows some growing awareness that the animal is not alone. Image cropped 40 %; did not allow enough room for the legs in the tall grass. I should point out the use of the scope is quite limited, but when I am going for a kind of softer style, I like to see what I can get.

ADDENDUM: the second post was saved-for-web in the usual fashion; apparently, I had resized the first post after the initial save-for-web in a format not recognized by PC. Good to know this and thanks to Greg for the suggestion. :)

It works for me. Not a bad grab shot at all.

A birder gone astray.... :wink:

I like your crop and the intense interest of the deer on something other than the photographer. The grass between you and the deer looks OK to me- all part of the habitat.

What's up with the frame- why isn't there a black margin on the bottom? I find that very distracting.

Tim---:? Strange that the bottom of the photo is missing when viewed on a PC but not on the Mac. The missing part can be seen on the thumbnail but not here. About 3/4 " has been sliced off the bottom. Don't know why, but thanks for noticing and commenting. I shortened the title and reloaded the image & can see it all now.

Very odd! Now I'm just getting the top of the image from the eyeball up, although the thumbnail looks good.

Weirdy weird here. :shock: What is going on? :shock: I could see it perfectly on both my PC and Mac at home but am viewing now on a different computer again, and can only see the top. I thought I might get lost over here, but not this badly. :wink:

I left the old post (the one that only showed a third of the image) without touching and added a new one right below it; now they are both all there on the mac but only the bottom one is a full image on the PC. See, if not ghosties or gremlins, then bugs are on duty here. :evil: Thanks for the tip, Greg, and the feedback, Chris, Tim, and Al. That is much appreciated.
