Like to agree with you that in these conditions, it's hard to make a good shot. Wonderful result though, Raj, for an 'against the light' shot. Be glad that El Macho was taking a nap, because, to me, he seems not to be that friendly, lol.
I saw some miniature El Macho's this past weekend Raj when I was deer hunting. If I had seen one that looked this good, I would be having him over as dinner. :) Great find.
That's a handsome looking buck, Raj. He must know the difference between a camera and a rifle, or he would be running like crazy. Excellent shot into the sun.
