Oh Deer - caught in the curve w/ rimlight

[JonK]

Out to shoot bison again and caught this beauty on the way back.
For once they (there were 2) didn't bolt as soon as my car approached.

[JonK]

Thank you aprilraven I'm happy you like it...had to react quick as she dint stay long . I got off 4 'shots' altogether.

Mart, hehe, me only shoot with cam - no bison or deer hunting!

 

[Lensmeister]

nice shot there ..... you caught the timidness of a deer well ...... they do make a dash for safety as soon as anything spooks them .,......


Congrats on a good shot ...

 

[Wally]

nice shot, around I usually see them like that just before I smack into them with the car.

Thanks for looking wally and commenting.

Mansi, i love the rimlight too..right place right time. thanks for the nice comments

Yes! I would have loved to "shoot" my two deer like THIS - much rather than with the bumper of my car
Beautiful creatures they are - very dead they were last year in October and this year in May . Mine was NOT a nice experience at all, no, not at all.

But yours!
Wow!
And the way you captured it, with this light and all. Wonderful. I am so in love with photos of backlit things, you know! Does this photo allow for a crop, i.e. does it have the crispness? Have you ever considered to try one?

Nice shot JonK. Waiting on the Buck photo.
