Fantastic… The buck is moving in a very elegant attitude and the background is also perfect.
My compliment, one of the best shot on that subject!

I really like the pose, the contrast of the yellow background with the slightly blue cast on the buck's hide - splendid! This one you might be able to sell to a hunting magazine.

Probably not a candidate for a hunting magazine.  Most of the magazine photos are shot either behind high fences or with habituated deer in state parks.  The magazines are looking for really remarkable deer.  Here's a link to Don M. Jones who gets a lot of covers of outdoor magazines; http://www.donaldmjones.com/#a=0&at=0&mi=2&pt=1&pi=10000&s=17&p=2  You did a great job photographing this deer, but he's probably a 2 1/2 year old deer from the antler conformation.  He has the chance to be a real stud at 5 1/2.  It's good that he is not alarmed.  His tail is not up and flagging.  He is concentrating on something ahead of him since both his ears are erect and aimed forward.
