Considering the the slow SS and the ISO, its really quite sharp.

You must have as many deer shots as I have moose shots!

How many different deer are you working?

Tim, I Have Access To About 200,000 Acres Of Private South Texas Ranch Land.... That Probably Means In Excess Of 2,000 Bucks. But Never Enough Time To See, Catalog, Or Photograph... I Have Been Working Very Closely With Three Ranchers... And That Brings The Count Down To About 50-200 "Mature" Bucks, Depending On The Year... Still Not Enough Hours In The Day... But I Sure Try... Three Of My Largest Ranchs, Have A "Non" Publish Rule.. It Is Getting Better, But Poaching Is Still A Major Problem In South Texas....
"Big" Bucks (Pun Intented) To Hunt Here, And The Ranch Owners Are Very Protective!!!
Thanks...

Good detail and nice that he's looking at you. I assume it was taken early morning by the slight blue cast ??

Very nice shot. I think a slight white balance adjustment to make it a bit warmer would make this excellent image even better.
