A handsome Buck posing for his portrait. With a busy background and some foreground brush, I decided to shoot wide open for better separation. I would have preferred to shoot from a lower level of view, but sometimes we have to be content with what's offered. I'm happy with the results...

He really is a wonderful subject and very photogenic! This one looks like a painted portrait. Lovely!

As David said it is a really nice rack. I like the dreamy out of focus area on the bottom of the frame. Minor nit is that if you had the option I would have preferred a bit more space around those wonderful antlers.

Perhaps a little tight, but a very nice portrait. Well done.

A very handsome fellow-well done! I too would enjoy just a bit more space around the antlers.
