Twilight Majesty [Animals]
Uploaded: July 26, 2009 07:06:36
These deer roam freely at The Wilds in southeast Ohio. Taken during a sunset safari there. When our open-air bus paused along side, they stopped and stood perfectly still. Applied several filters to enhance color and contrast. Category -- Animals.

You have many wonderful shots in July but this simply has to be a big winner, Mary Beth, and I'm making it my favorite of your entries. The light and exposure are perfect. Other shots I enjoy particularly include On the Weekend (what a very special bond you suggest with this capture), Sunset on the Prairie (great light!), Touching the Stars (what a beautiful young lady), and both your running zebra shots. Great work this month -- expect to see your name more than once among the finalists and winners. #7836507Courtenay Vanderbilt August 17, 2009
