Well there is so much here! Either there are so many deer around that the photographer in the picture can afford to let this one just wander by… or else he is so absorbed in the world inside his long lens that he doesn’t see it. Where I live it is very rare to see a deer close by without hiding, or stalking, they are very timid. Here it seems very tolerant of man’s visible presence, and vice-versa!. This is certainly the most entertaining of the submissions and I love the misty forest, wild atmosphere. It is a well spotted man and nature shot, well done!
