Artist's Comments

Wow ! just got in from capturing this huge buck ! This is one of the biggest deer I've ever seen in my area. What a rush having this one appear so close and then be able to get a picture of it as it ran off. If I hadn't stopped on the trail it probably would've let me walk right on by and I never would've seen it .

George, can you lighten it up a bit? I think if you took some time with it it could be a great photo.

Insta-fav!!! That just sent a tingle down my spine! What an awesome deer. WOW! That's a rare capture you have right there. I love the drop tine on his rack. He looks pretty young too, he still has a few years of growing to do. I wouldn't change a thing - that is nature as it was intended to be seen right there.

Hi Curt, Thanks buddy.. yup this is the son of a big one that lived in this swamp 2 years ago... that one got hit by a car during the fall.His son is going to be bigger than him though... that deer only got to be an 8 pointer.

What an incredibly beautiful capture. :clap: The angle, the lighting, the colours and scenery; it all flows together into a masterpiece.
