CRSP LI,NY

Since my photo bud Jimmy is posting many deer images from our morning at CRSP in the snow, I thought I would post one just before the snow started. This is the same buck, after shooting some full lengths, and headshots both horizontal and vertical it proceeded to come so close I had to crop in ways I normally would not. Although, the legs are eliminated I still find this a rather compelling image. What do you think?

Best and see you in the filed,

In this shot everything works well.

Repeat my mantra: Know the rules so you know when to break them.

Great job getting not only a really nice view of the head and rack but the white tail as well. The colors and the detail are wonderful. I am still undecided about the crop. Thanks for posting here in Wildlife.

The over the shoulder look and DOF are excellent. Personally I prefer a composition that does not crop the legs.

Chas, I really love the intense stare, and the way he pops out of the background. I just wish the poor guy had some legs...

The colors and background are excellent, as is his pose. The legs would be nice, but this works for me. The intense stare holds my eyes so that the missing legs are not distracting.
