OK, I'm going to be blunt. I would not buy these, sorry. The reasons are that the deer blend into the busy background too much (b&w probably not the best choice for these particular photos), the composition of the first two (deer dead center) doesn't appeal to me, and there is nothing special to set these photos apart from many other deer photos I've seen.

Now, having said these negative things about your photos, let me say that these are not bad! And I'm coming from the point of a potential buyer - I'm not some pro wildlife shooter. It's just that they could be a lot better.

I have to agree with Spike with the observations that shooting in b&w has caused the deer to get lost in the similarly-toned background. Try some different compositions, as well, as the deer centered in all 3 images makes for too much dead space around the animal. Sorry to sound so negative. I'd suggest checking out the websites and galleries of some nature photographers, to get some ideas. Keep at it.

First couple of weeks are hard. I was testing my photos. I got a D70 from snowboarding and i'm learning how to ues it. I need $1,200.00 for stuff so i'll try and sell stuff. but when snowboarding starts i'll have so awesome pictues of snowboarding and mountianscapes.

hope I can get the Nikkor 80-200 f/2.8D ED Autofocus Lens

Good luck to you. The Nikon 80-200/2.8 is a superb lens, one of the best ever from Nikon. We'll look forward to more images from you.

How did you convert them to black and white from your D70? perhaps something in your conversion process caused a major loss in contrast. Conversely, perhaps there is some masking you can do in photoshop to bring the deer out in the last one.
