From my recent travels to photograph mule deer and whitetails during the rut.. Caught this buck before sunrise. I got as low as humanly possible without digging a hole to get this perspective.

Now that's one cool portrait Dale, the colour palette is awesome, excellent work. 1/100 SS WOW, but then you know me and my thoughts about SS, LOL.

Beautiful shot. The more images I see from that 100-400 version II the more I like it.
Great setting with a great subject.

Wow, this is cool! I guess you lightened it up quite a bit if this was pre-sunrise. It all came together very, very well.

Terry the 100-400mm MKII is a great lens.. Had the old version for may years but it doesn't compare optically to the new one. I may be in the minority but I still prefer the push/pull zoom...
