Deer Two

[SecondHand]

Well, Dave inspired me to get my butt out of the house and take to the hills. So, mini-me and I took a little ride and came back with some deer.

Jim,
This is a nice capture. I like the feel of it. But as Art mentions, it's soft and the detail is a bit muddy.

This image begs for a little post processing. I hope you don't mind, but I spent 30 seconds on it and I hope it looks more like what you saw.

Shooting in snow really fools your meter. It will cause darker subjects to be under exposed quite a bit.

Thanks Art and Steve. Steve, that looks almost exactly like what I saw. I love what you've done with it. Thank you. the deer were in the shadow of the trees which made them a little hard to shoot. I tried to brighten it up some with elements, but it just seemed to come out way over done. That one looks great! Thanks. :thumb

I'm glad you got out and bagged a couple deer. It has a nice mood to it.
The birders definitely own this forum, but I think we can sneak a few
4 leggers in. :D

Nice capture, and I like the increased contrast that Steve C. added to it.
