Oh deer -- that's amazing, Marty! You've treed yourself a jazzy find here! #1302035Tammy M. Anderson August 26, 2010
It blends in pretty well. Fantastic find and fun capture, Marty. #8862683Val Feldman August 26, 2010
A deer, yup, it sure is...But could be a happy Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer in there, too! Look at that big ol' grin! A super catch and find, Marty, as well as, a very pretty leafy little sun dappled glade to ponder a tree's growing mysteries over! #8862862Ron McEwan August 26, 2010
I did not cheat Marty, I looked first. How amazing this is. Great shooting.Maybe someday we can meet up out there in Utah Marty. I looked for half a day north of Moab and Arches for dinosaurs tracks and finally found them after talking to a guy that was operating a big catipillar in the land fill. #8862874

Oh, my, my powers of perception have gone south. I didn't see it and cheated. #8863085Marty Straub August 26, 2010
Yeah, this is an easy one. I've been going to this same spot for years to try for a better photo of this guy. Once at Christmas I filled in the nose with red, but... This time the natural light was better than ever, yet I added a bit of fill flash to the deer part of the tree, and even then I painted a stripe of increased exposure (+.50) down the deer part with PS Bridge. I was particularly thrilled by the white dripping (of a bird or sap) along the side of the deer's face. #8863093Kitty R. Rodehorst-Hanna August 26, 2010
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWESOME, Marty! WOWEEEE! :-) k #8863214Denny E. Barnes August 26, 2010
I would say you did this deer tree proud this time, Marty! Your added touches and the white strip really makes it stand out!! Very beautifully done!! Like they say, "If you don't succeed at first, try-try again". By the way, who is they anyway..LOL.. #8863668Ellen Hodges August 26, 2010
