Admiring the Colour
Posted by Lee (Fort Frances Ontario, Canada) on 19 February 2009 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
A had to be there moment. The colour was not quite so bright. I tweaked the saturation a bit.

This is a great shot of the illusive White Tailed Deer, not often you can get that close. That's an image to be hanging on the wall. Well done Lee.

@The Big Guy: With a strong lens and a cropping tool one can appear much closer than the actual moment. Thank you for your compliment.

@Marion: Marion, please let your son know- Yes this is for real. This is one shot out of 43 shots I took of this buck that morning. The series starts with the buck looking at me, then looking around, into the morning, then turning and walking away. Thank you for visiting.
