Taken this afternoon from our lower front deck

That must be a "pet"; you got very close.Nice image in #1; a lovely animal! Don

Don:
We live in a very remote area but in spite of my warnings my brides "welfare system" makes them a willing subject. I wouldn't quite call them a pet but they have become a lot more tolerant of us.

A couple of nice looking images Bob. Nice to have such critters visit your yard.

The lighting on that first one is pretty spectacular. Nice work.

Both are superb shots, Bob!

Such a beautiful animal and great photos to compliment it!

Good work Bob, It must be wonderful to step out on your deck and be offered such opportunities.
Douglas

Wow great subject to photograph, and terrific lighting to work with!

Beautiful pictures of a beautiful animal. #1 is exceptional in pose, lighting, and composition. Nicely done!

Thank you for your compliments. Very fortunate to have the lighting make the background of the river work.

Beautiful shots of a beautiful animal Bob. The saturation looks a little strong for my taste. Wonderful light you are getting this winter.

Rob:
Thanks for you input about the saturation. I went back and forth on that in the PP and it seems like I ended up at the point where I backed it off any it looked flat and if I went the other way it looked over saturated. What I used for a tie breaker was PSE11's auto enhance feature. I left it where the auto feature put it but it may boil down to individual taste where no one is wrong.
The light was great yesterday and we are now at the point where the amount really starts to snowball.

Very nice couple of photographs

Nice pair Bob, well captured
