 This shot was taken on an island near where I live that has no hunting allowed, so the deer are plentiful and not as timid as they should be.

My first submission, comments welcome.

Thanks for the votes, I beleive this is not a bad score for a first entry.

Alot of people mentioned that A wider crop would have been better, and I agree. THis was my first day out with my 50mm 1.8 and the picture is 90% of the original. I was standing around 10 feet away from the animal.

Lovely animal and shot, but not sure if your message in terms of the challenge subject is strong enough.

Great shot of these lovely animals. I think a wider crop might be more interesting to show their surroundings.

Beautiful picture of the buck. Would've like the yearling to have been a little crisper. Probably wouldn't have cropped it so close to the yearling either. Still, that is a really beautiful picture of the buck. You should be proud of it.
