This is a young, 8 point buck whitetail deer. The antlers were nice but didn't have much mass. We found him in this meadow shortly after sunrise but the trees around the perimeter kept the meadow in shade for quite a while. The deer had been much closer to us at one point and we got several nice images. When the sun finally popped over the trees, however, we got this image of him that stood out from the earlier ones. His head and antlers show well against the dark woods behind him and his ears are alert as he looks toward the sun. A peaceful and serene setting.
70-200 lens at 200mm, 1/400 second at f/2.8, ISO 250. We reduced the exposure slightly when processing the raw file.
