I went a bit backlit mad...

And to differentiate myself from the other deer threads: a duck (taken on the largest of the Richmond ponds, with thanks to the duck/geese-feeding families)

…is a good idea for more dramatic images but I miss the theatrical rendition
in these spectacular frames!

I'm a sucker for the backlit shots you get at this time of year. 1 and 3 are my faves for that reason! I wonder if they would have more punch if you pulled the blacks down a bit to enhance the silhouette effect?

Nice shot of the duck too! We do tend to forget there is a whole other park out there with our deer frenzy

#2 is probably one of the best 'back lit deer' shot's I've seen.
