So beautiful on every level! I hope this handsome buck has a long life. I especially like the antlers because the soft fuzz is up close. Ideal background with no distractions.

He is a prince of the animal kingdom. I see the velvet on his crown and the soft hairs of his coat. His moist eyes and nose are especial interesting. The photo is excellent focused and exposed. Colors and light are realistic. The animal is perfect placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

Great looking shot!. Fine example of wild life photography. Your timing appears to be perfect and you have captured the alert look on buck's face very well. Good luck!

An excellent entry into the competition presented here! Your perfect composition grants a wonderful view of your handsome deer. Love sheen in its eyes and on the nose. Fur detail is good. Exposure and sharpness are spot on. Great photo and good luck!

Comment from Susan F. M. T.


Lee Ann,
A beautiful picture of this magnificent Stag his antlers still covered in velvet, it appears to me he might be an eleven point by the time his antlers are fully grown, his head up sniffing the air his eyes peeled watching you while his ears are pricked listening for danger. Beautiful composition, framing &lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

As soon as I saw the title "Velvet Crowned Buck" I knew that this was one of your LeeAnn. Bulls eye immediately came to mind.

I really like your image of Niner. He is really going to be a handsome fellow in a few months.

Great pose showing his face, alert ears and that lovely velvet covering those emerging horns.

Great entry for the contest LeeAnn ~ Steve

P.S. I am going to buy a bag of corn and come up there to lure these guys out for some iPhone fun : )
