Lovely natural shot Nancy as at this point he doesn't look as if he's aware of you. Super shot with great detail.

Thank you all for the gracious comments. Bob, you know the saying..walk softly?LOL! Actually I thin he was aware that I was there but just really was enjoying LUNCH! Nancy

You can capture beauty in any subject, Nancy, this one is no exception. I like the tight crop. Very well done. Zuzana

Good shot Nancy, He is obviously in another world, Good job you had a camera and not a gun.. Take care and best wishes Mark

Super close in shot Nancy.  I've passed through the Smokies on the way to Nashville a lot of years ago.  You've got a good one here and close too - it must be all your special forces training! lol!  Take care, Steve.

Hi Nancy and a Happy New Year to you great shot he looks very unconcerned about you more concerned about finding some food looked at in expanded his antlers look quite dangerous all the best Gav.

Nice grab Nancy and nicely composed.  Cheers, Andrew.
