Surprise and Symmetry

By loweho written 9/9/06 8:10 PM, published 9/9/06 8:10 PM

Went in the kitchen this evening to get coffee and see two deer out at the back edge of the property. Grab the gear and the monopod and snuck out there, if a 240 pound guy in house slippers, shorts, and carrying a 6 ft. black stick could sneak up on anything. I thought a couple met the criteria for joyful symmetry but you be the judge.

Popup Link Doe and fawn
Fawn eating
Mom on alert

Joyful Symmetry...IMO
Popup Link Same pose Both are on alert as I was "sneaking" closer.
Deer Shake Just as I shot she decided to shake both ends.
Intruder alert The neighbors were coming down the lane in their truck and spooked the deer but while they were watching the truck one of the horses took off for the truck thinking he was getting fed I guess. It came into frame by surprise. Kind of a symmetrical shot to me.

As always, feel free to comment and critique... I don't read any of the comments anyway.

I *knew* you didn't read my brilliant remarks! I think you've got joyful symmetry at least twice. And you got it in the pix as well. Nice work.

Hey, cool find on your property! Nice sneak job... I had to laugh at the fawn eating. It looks like it is coughing up a fur ball :) I really like "same pose".

Yeah, I think they saw you. A 240 lb sneaker, gimme a break! Liked all of those with deer looking at you, and the one with horse in background is most entertaining.

I enjoyed them all, thanks for taking me into the field with you. Favorite was deer shake, definitely symmetry there. The word photo of you stalking the deer is also quite joyful.
