Not the greatest photo, but we really love to see Whitetail Deer in the wild.

Well, there are definately seven deer in the photo. The deer are hard to see and not very clear at all, but upon close inspection, they are definately there. I'm not sure why all the trees are leaning to the right, but I find that a bit distracting. there isn't really much color in the photo, so it's a bit dullish looking. I'm not personally drawn into the photo, but it is good for the challenge. ~Heather~

Clever title :) The natural camouflage is astounding. Nice shot. Might have cropped off some more foreground perhaps.

Nice capture. I like the look of the does and the head turning of the buck. I may have cropped out a 1/3 or so of the grass. Good luck on this 7 pointer...

Nice shot, could have been cropped better to emphasise the deer, but very good none the less.

I agree :)

The deers did exactly what they are supposed to do in real life: blend with the background. They are barely perceptible because it's brown on brown. And they're too small. You might have waited for them to be in a more compact constellation, which would have allowed a tighter crop and thus, larger animals. A more narrow DOF might have helped as well.

Where were they during firearms season?

Pity that their natural color does not stand out against the background. Nothing to do there now... only a 7 for what could have been a 10.

It's kind of hard for me to see the deer against the trees.

I'd say that's one lucky buck (look at the size of his harem!)... ;-) Good job getting close enough to get the shot.

nice capture. wish they were farther from the trees so you could isolate them more in the grass.
