Judges Comment

It is the story that takes you through, and a pretty sad story too. You have captured the hopelessness of this situation and the defeated look on the deer’s face. When will we ever learn ?

Thank you very much for the Mark Of Excellence ! I'm honored to be among the finalists. I have been shooting wildlife for about 5 years. My current set up is the Canon 7D Mark ll with the Canon 100-400 telephoto version II and the 1.4 Canon teleconverter. I use Picassa for post processing and just used a touch of contrast and sharpening for this photo. This buck will be OK once he sheds his antlers. The wildlife preserve is aware of this problem but continues to stake and twine large areas of native plants to protect them from invasive plant species.
