Airborne buck
I'm still enjoying the roe deer in the wildflower field almost every night. Got literally 1000s of pictures of them, beautifully posing between the flowers. But every once in a while, the bucks get really excited because the rutting season is right around the corner. And it does become more interesting when it's not only a beautiful pose, but something is really happening.
This one got a glimpse of a rival in the adjoining field and decided to go for it. A racing roe deer buck with dozens of flowers surrounding it, makes for the ultimate challenge for the autofocus. And I've got só many shots to prove it..
I couldn't have been more thrilled when he took a gigantic jump right over the flowers to get to his opponent quickly, just airborne long enough for the autofocus to pick up.
Happy!!
