DescriptionTwo deer stand on a grassy ledge with a lake behind them. The buck, with large antlers, stands in the middle of the scene looking to the right. Seated below him is a smaller female deer who turns her head to look at the water behind her. The mist is still clearing from the water and there are soft white clouds in the blue sky.
