((as they carry mice with them
they have to leave the frames at home))http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif

I love the composition - the woods at the right give a real sense of being there.

I really like how you didn't center the deer! I see a lot of people do that and you would be missing out on the wildlife of the tree if you did that. Great Job!

I really like this shot.Lovely colours and great capture of the deer.

Sorry to change the subject(of the pic).How are you finding the lens(the 100-400 f.4L IS.......that is the one right).I'm going to get one at the end of the month,so it would be nice to here you're views :cool:

WOW Thanks Tommy, Alan, James, Jay, and Tammie :D

Alan, I think that anyone that has the EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 IS USM lens will say the same thing. It is an awsome zoom lens, probably one of the best. This deer was aprox. 350 meters away when I took the shot HAND HELD with IS on and my arms resting on the truck door. I shot in Raw format. Settings were 1/800sec., f5.6, ISO 200. I cropped, sharpened with unsharpen mask, and resized, the photo in PSE3. I doubt I could still get this much detail with a lesser lens. In my opinion if you can get your hands on one , do it. You won't regret it.
