Thanks Chris.
Geoff, so much appreciated, honored for you to think my images look professionally done.
Dianne, I'm gonna get one of my pics on your wall yet! LOL. thanks a lot.
Thanks Scott, I'll take the complement.
Thanks Jeff, the deer are somewhat sensitized to people being around them in Cades Cove. Possibly even the bears too you see. Though normally the bears tend to stay further away from people than the deer, except for when idiot tourists go chasing them on foot, then they usually go back in the woods. Of course, I was sat up with a tripod for 45 minutes in one spot probably waiting for this opportunity. I didn't know for sure it would happen, but there were 4 to 6 deer moving through the area, and I got lucky.
Also, since I was shooting 85mm, I was a little ways away from them shooting this wide a view with an 85.
