Description
Big was my surprise when I stumbled on something I did now know existed in South Africa outside the zoos. At first I thought I had too much to drink the previous night. Thanks to
Klaus (tarantula-man) who helped me put a name to this "fellow", yes, it is apparently a
Fallow Deer or Dama Dama.
These creatures have the most amazing long eyelashes.
Thank you for visits and comments to the "Vierkleur". It was heart warming to realize so many people cared for cultures elsewhere:

Hallo Piet. a very nice capture van een Damhert (=dutch, maybe also Afrikaans, for Dama Dama deers!!) Understood there is a small number of them in South Africa. In the "Double Dutch" Wildernes, the dunes close to where I live, we have a growing number of these beautiful animals. See my posting 26th of December 2005!! Have a nice evening Henk
This is to love!*****!
Ohhh, great capture, love the form, the light and of course that lovely fellow,LOL.
Thanks for the Info link! :)
are they living on a ranch and being raised. wondering how you got so close unless you have an extremely high quality telephoto.excellent capture
Utterly magnificent capture and composition, Piet! A fallow fellow, indeed! I love those antlers and the seemingly serene eyes. The fallow stands out well against the blurred background, of which I should concentrate more on improving in many of my shots.
Great shot. I agree a nice mix of sharpness and softness in the shot.
Impressive capture well done...
Ok, waar het die Oom hierdie outjie raakgeloop? Hey, we saw a Stork too yesterday - in SA nogal!! Can you believe it?!? Yeah yeah I captured it, but will show it off in my Mabalingwe series, as soon as my lions are complete. Oom Piet, this is an outstanding capture! The clarity and detail is quite amazing! Great shot :0)
What an awesome capture Piet! the animal is so clear and neat..he is photogenic LOL! Great shot :)
Awesome photography Piet, the perfect capture Stuart
We have farms that raise these here, but i have not seen on in this POV. Excellent. The colours behind and the little grass in mouth is so well seen.
wow this crown has to be heavy ;-) I think I have the same LOL BEAUTY!
I think he just wanted to declare himself to the world! Great clarity and POV. Love it Piet. Jenny
LOL...Would like to try your method of drinking to find these animals. I think it will work, lol. Excellent capture. Aloha
Its face is an enchantment!... Wondeful capture!!! Hugsss. Delia
Extraordinary close up ! Super !
Beautiful animal. Fantastic shot with superb detail on its face and warm colors.
That's really a brilliant portrait Piet ! I've never seen this sort of Deer before, he's impressive and so elegant. A wonderful animal. I'm surprised as you to see one in South Africa. But there are Deers on each continent, and they are all differents. I'm always surprised by the diversity of the creatures on our little planet, it's incredible ! Nice done again my friend. Have a wonderful day. HUgs
Such a beautiful fallow deer, dear Oom. Superb shot and wonderfous fellow. Hugs. Di Di
Great shot - but that I think I told you already - If I wouldn't have gone back to look for something specific - I wouldn't have noticed, that I missed not one - but a couple of pages... Shame on me and Kudos for you for a great portrait!
Beautiful capture, Piet! Now, this fellow looks much more familiar, LOL!
awesome capture again... youre truly putting that new cam to good use.... ta for sharing Piet.
