    First Shot in the Wild

    This is the first wildlife shot I've ever taken actually in the wild. Well, I guess if you consider Cades Cove "the wild."

    C&C welcome and always appreciated.

    Thanks for viewing!

    There is some out of focus foliage between you and your subject. But that is often the case with 'real life shots'. Not a sufficient problem though.

    And possibly there is a slightly bright spot behind the head; but once again, not a serious fault.

    So all in all, this has worked well.

    Cades qualifies as well as any other park/reserve without fences. You did good for a first shot. I like the grass in the mouth. The lighting looks a bit odd with the buck's head surrounded by a noticeably lighter area. If it was intentional vignette it is a bit overdone.
