The same Deer from a few days ago.
A different pose. I missed out on a post card quality shot where two deer were standing infront of a few pine trees. Anyway, you had to be there, it's hard to explain. The deer are out from the bush looking for grassland to feed on. In the winter they feed on the Cedars. This one is a "Doe," female. Her young one is to the right a ways.

Very nice pose and light. I bet deers are rather shy so this is very good capture Mike. I like BG with dark forest.

Nice capture again Mike,
She's a beauty, and she knows how to pose for the camera.
Nice details, composition and a superb BG for this shot.
Thanks for posting

A great shot!
A very nice pose for this beautiful deer.
I especially like your composition.
Very good job.

Dear Dear...there's not too much grass to be found here to feed on.I guesss they go hungry a bit at this time of year...or start eating the trees.
I've heard that there are deer in our forest on Pirongia.A bit of a disaster really,as they ravage our native bush.
Some have escaped from deer farms adjoining the reserve and some have been released by irresponsile hunters.
Its true...some Kiwis (especially some farmers) don't care about our native forests at all :(

You've done very well again. The greenery on the left gives it more depth. Nice pose.

Hello Mike, great shot. Lovely pose and good exposure on the snow. My only (small) nit is that you could have included more room for the legs to fit into. It's lovely. Well done.

Mike, A great shot here. This would make a pretty good postcard in its own right. A classic pose on the edge of cover,as it looks for danger. Excellent detail.

Focus on the head is a bit soft but otherwise this is a great picture. Excellent composition! TFS!
