Perfect pose, gorgeous light in a wonderful setting – perfect for B/W! Then the eye finds the doe – wonderful!

The expression is wonderful and I love that they keep their spots. Most if not all North American deer are only spotted when young. The buck stands out so prominently and is a great counterpoint to the shy, more concealed doe. Great pairing.
