On a warm summer evening, this red deer came to cool off near a waterhole. The sun was almost down when I heard the deer come closer. Carefully the animal crept towards the water, looking around for any danger. The photo was taken at the moment the deer is clearly on its guard.
Because it was so late in the evening the photo has dark colors. The color of the deer itself, and the green of the ferns in the background stand out nicely.
The photo was taken on the Veluwe in the open air.
