These two whitetail deer were found in a meadow shortly after sunrise last week. The buck on the right is obviously mature with a large set of antlers. The young deer on the left is actually a "button" buck with two small knobs on the top of his head. This time of year the older bucks are getting a little testy as they are ready for the does to come into heat. This young buck seems to be keeping his distance and warily eyeing the larger deer. This made for a nice composition as both deer are looking inward.
The first rays of sun are visible on the trees in the background but this meadow was still in shade. Not much light to work with so we had to use a wide aperture. Not enough depth of field to keep both animals in focus so we kept the focus on the big buck. Also, we adjusted the color temperature later to warm up the image.
70-200 lens at 135mm, 1/320 second at f/3.2, ISO 800.
