I like the composition. I'm surprised the deer stood still long enough for you to get a shot at 1/80 with no motion blur. I wish I could get a deer to do that!

When all else fails, try making a loud sound, like a snort or a whistle. Some species will stop and look for the source of the sound for a few seconds.

I work on a property where there is over 100 deer and buck. They are not too scared of people. He was checking me out for a few minutes while I shot away and then he and his friends went into the woods.

Sounds like you live in a great area.

It's where I work. A government R&D facility. It is know fenced in but most of the deer decided to stay with us over the years. We also have a lot of Canadian Geese, a few foxes a Heron or two. Great place for photos. These are with the Nikon D500. I use that and the Olympus.Sounds like you live in a great area.

That's a nice shot Laslo, well done. I know I love having deer in my woods. Curious and fun creatures.

It makes it all the worthwhile working there. I think of it as a benefit.
I think that works with any wild animal that is not aware of your presence and will keep head down and grazing away. Making an unusual noise just loud enough for their hearing can make them pause and check for what had made the noise. Of course the reaction might be seen as danger and cause the subject matter to disappear from the scene quite quickly. Not dangerous animals are best for this technique

Have you tried technique with hungry lions, tigers, or bears?
