Took these shots a couple of weeks ago. I saw these four bucks but they were very skittish, so it was tough to get a picture. I patiently waited in an adjacent field where I usually see deer cross. Sure enough, all four came through and crossed, stopping for a momentary pose before moving on. Notice the different antler growth on each one. Pictures taken in Fish Creek Park, Calgary, September 9 2023. Hope you enjoy.

Hi Gordon,

These are nice captures that might look a lot better if your did some noise reduction. Lovely warm light on the first few

Thanks guys. Morris, you are right. I did some noise reduction, but should have been more aggressive on it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hey Gordon these are really fine looking bucks! Beautiful light too. Nice set with #2 being my pick.
In terms of NR, make sure to do NR before you sharpen anything. NR then sharpen as you don't want to sharpen noise
