Very nice sharp close up of this animal that I have never seen or known to exist. I like the way you have captured the way it is digging in the snow.TFS.

A good close up with the feeling of the movement thanks to high exposure speed. Resulted lighting and details, however, are also successful.

I am starting to get a much better overall picture of your Cypress Hills and why the Palouse is of interest to you as well...It is almost as if there is an unmarked, unfenced corridor of land which is very similar...not only in geology but in the mammals and birds which live there...and I am not surprised because when one counts the miles from here to there, they are not all that great...

A splendid picture. I'm glad you got back on the horse so to speak...I have some medical issues which frankly scare me a bit when traveling outbound to more remote areas...very well done Rick.

Hi Rick,

Great timing to capture this mule deer kicking up the snow! He lives in the wrong place - he should spend his winters with his cousins here in Tucson. A wonderful closeup with good natural colors and fine details. I love seeing the inside of his ears - I'm strange.

How did you get so close to this Deer?!
It's incredible!
The amount of detail in the fur is really very amazing.
I love the pose and snow in mid-air.
Great composition and close crop that has great impact.
Very nicely done Rick!
Cheers,
Joe

Hi Rick.
I guess You have a lot of treasures in "Cypress hills" in that beautiful Country that You and Lucy live. This is a great image, this doe looking for some grass to eat. Soon this grass is goint to be green and rich of proteins and fiber, and by that time she is goint to be in the second part of the pregnancy, good for the new famlily.
Saludos para Ti y Lucy.
Un abrazo.
Tu amigo Luis52,

Hi Rick,
I didn't realize that you updated to the 40D. How do you like it? Do you ever use the "live view"? I like the close crop. It doesn't look like much of a tasty snack. I like the foot/snow action. I think you may have focused on the foreleg/neck plane as they are sharper than the eye and muzzle.

Very nice capture Rick. Excellent perfect timing on the digging of that snow Rick, and what a crop. You've positioned it perfectly to nicely fill this frame. Very excellent sharp detail, awesome eye.

Thanks, John

Hello Rick,

Very nice composition. Excellent POV and sharpness. I like very much the way you captured the snow which is removed from the grass by the foot of the deer.
Well done,

Hi Rick,

Yes here two, we are starting to get tired of the winter and today more snow......
Nice close-up showing great details in the fur, a beautiful light and you froze his moving paw very nicely. Well done!

That's a close and superb shot and beautiful framing! Wow. And isn't it funny that when it starts snowing we are all happy and filled with joy to see all the beauty and when March gets by, we just cannot stand it anymore!!! I feel I am a Northern Woman in December but in March I become a carribean beauty ;-)) uneasy in our climate. And thanks for this great picture, it is beautiful and what a movement in the snow, superb, Rick.
