Here's Looking at You

Since I had a request for a shot of some bucks...



One more of the same buck... not winking at me this time



C&C welcome

Those look great, nice dof. I like the image in black and white, but it seems to have a few hot spots.

Amazing. In the first shot I am pretty sure this mammal is coming on to you.

Had a bit of a fight with the light I see but I think you did well.
I love the wink in the b/w one. That is what makes it a memorable shot.

[Shebang]

Love the dear deer wink! Great shots. Colors in the 2nd one are marvelous.

The winking deer is awesome!!!
Did the highlights became to bright after converting to b&w?

[amorton1437]

I love the winking one! My only 'critique' is what the PP said about the highlights being a bit too bright in the conversion.

Amazing. In the first shot I am pretty sure this mammal is coming on to you.

I made the mistake of reading this while drinking a diet pepsi... now I need some napkins to wipe my monitor down, LOL

The highlights did get blown with the black and white conversion (I just used lightroom's preset to convert). Actually pre-conversion it was a little too low in contrast.

Here's a version with some highlight recovery...

In the second one the amorous intent is even more finely lit.

great shots. I love the first one coz of the wink but I think the second one looks great.

The black and white edit looks a lot better, IMO! makes picking one of the two very hard.

I really like the 2nd B/W edit.My only nit-pick..I would clone away the branch near the eye.Great catch Cara!
