Buck Stop


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Buck Stop
Buck Stop

I took a quick trip to the Morton Arboretum this afternoon. I was delighted when I noticed a buck near a pond. Come to find out that there was two of them in the area. A nice surprise.

Comments welcome and appreciated!

  Mike- I just love the beauty of this picture. Its like a masters oil painting. The lighting and the amazing blend of beautiful colors give such an appealing effect that just grabs your eyes and holds them to the picture. The buck is definitely a fantastic bonus and takes it from a great picture to an unbelieveable one. The tones are stunning. Seeing that buck drinking from the rippled water is phenominal.
A favorite for me. Have to have this one.
Remarkable work
