 I was driving through Morro Bay State Park when I noticed three deer out in the estuary which was mostly dry due to extremely low tide. I backed up on this small, two lane road until I found a place to pull over and jumped out. I was snapping away very near my car when another car comes up, the guy jumps out with his big old lens and the deer take off. They only wanted to model for me, I guess.

Nice catch!! There's great detail on the deer - I'd try cropping it closer.

The layers in this are great. They really help the deer stand out.

Timing is everything.

Here is a fitting quote.

'Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready to have somebody click the shutter.' Ansel Adams

Ha; you win! Nice shot of the deer; he looks regal and is in great shape for running away from photographers he distrusts.
