I know this image will probably not score well because the quality itself is not wonderful. I am entering completely on the basis that I don't believe it has ever been seen before on this site. I don't really care about the score with this one. This is a white phase whitetail. It is a pen raised deer, not a wild one. Because it is inside of a pen, I was tryin to get a shot that didn't show the fence in the background and that wasn't easy.
The antlers are still in the growing stage in this photo. In the fall, after the velvet has come off, this buck will be sporting a very nice rack!
Thanks for the favorite, and all the comments!

not really any composition here, I think a little more time spent on that along with some more processing (there are green and blue shades in the buck's hair) would have made this stand out more
This is a good sharp image. I'm not good at photographing wildlife, it's very difficult, but I think what separates this one, from the ones that are ribbon-winners is that this one seems to be caught in an awkward moment... like half step of movement.
Also, the background is cluttered and distrating. Getting the right balance of isolating the subject, yet still keepint it all sharp is very difficult, I'm sure.
This one used the background to set it off and the animal feels still and not awkward to me. Keep at it. Noone starts out getting perfect wildlife shots. (not voting)
