 I have no idea what the heck this animal is. I thought it was a caribou but its really small. (less than a meter in height).

post challenge:
Not my favorite image I've taken and not even the best I took for the challenge. I thought the animal itself was interesting so I thought I would use the challenge to share. The species? I believe its a young caribou. What confused me was this one was with a bunch of even smaller ones and there was no adults in the herd.

I've no idea what he is either but he's got a lovely face. From the cloudiness at the sides of the photo I'd say he's either behind glass or you've got a DOF setting I'm unfamiliar with; if you did shoot through glass, then well done on the really good sharpness on his face.

Could it be a young Caribou?

That poor old boy must have lost some of the skirmishes he was in... Those are the saddest looking set of antlers I've seen. I believe that the photo may have benifited from some additional post processing

Neat!! I've never seen a deer as he was losing the velvet off his antlers.

Unknown ( and slightly bewildered ) Species of Deer.

I might be wrong - but he looks quite young still.

Caribou i believe, but with strangely small antlers. maybe they're just growing in.

Nice pose, however your processing needs a lot of work. There is a white bar on the right hand side of the photo which is very distracting. Also, I believe you can play a lot with the saturation and curves to create a more appealing effect.
