Bucky seems very interested on the antlers, but not afraid of Niner. The poses of both deer are interesting. Your photo is excellent focused and exposed and has good depth. I appreciate the realism of color and light and the refinement of detail and textures. The deer are well placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

A very fine shot that captures the interaction between these two bucks quite nicely. The composition is attractive and the detail in both deer is very good.

Lee Ann,
A beautiful picture of Niner with the yearling stage showing off his simple two pint antlers as he admires Niner's handsome nine point antlers. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

A very good looking nature shot posted here! Your fine and appropriate composition captures an enjoyable family moment. Yes, there may envy, but maybe the youngster just wanted a cuddle? Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely done!

the younger buck asked "does size matter"?"..the old buck snorted "the does seem to think so!" wink wink..lol..would you expect anything less from a cartoonist? wink..lol. cool capture. the angle of the shot of both young and old bucks is great. the capture of the light is great. the clarity is great. the image is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall.

Yeah,I always shake my head when I see one of the does with a yearing buck,?seriously,you can do better!? Well they had enough mature suitors this year,and I didn?t see any ?deer porn? in the weeds like I did the other year,guess the older bucks like a bit of privacy!
