Camera:
Nikon D-70

WoW! Awesome capture Dick! I have been trying for a shot such as this but without any luck.I get it from a distance but not close range.Do you mind if I ask how close you were to your subject and what lens you were using?Congratulations on your win with this fabulous image Dick!

Thanks so much for the generous comments. Cheryl, I was about 33~35 feet away and used a Nikon 70-200 f2.8 lens with 1.7x teleconverter, zoomed out at 120mm.

Thank you for answering my question Dick.Now I know what lens I need to buy along with a teleconverter :) Maybe someday I will get lucky and get a shot such as this.I see the deer but not close enough
