This photograph was taken in Montana in September of 2008.  We tracked these deer for a few miles until they were close enough that we could get a decent shot of them.  I used a 500mm telephoto lens to capture this image although I almost missed it because they were really fast. 

Wildlife photography is my favorite type because it's a challenge to track and find the animals as well as capture their unique moments.
