Sparring Bucks

A photo of two bucks sparring at Rocky Mountain Arsenal outside of Denver, Colorado.

These two bucks were sparring during the rut in early December, 2018. I was able to move into a position to capture the Denver Skyline in the background. A 600mm lens helped pull in the background.

Boy, this is a conflict in nature and a conflict between man and nature. What a juxtaposition of mankind and the natural world. I would clone the top of the fence post along the bottom, but otherwise, looks really good.

Michael, the lighting here is great. The setting is special with the two bucks clashing along with the skyline and mountain slopes in the distance.

A great capture with conflict in nature and man and nature, as Harley said.
