[Sabyasachi Patra]

I don't remember a barking deer ear cut open in such a manner.

Ya the ear looks quite different. It is only the right ear not the left. Good eye contact and details.The composition looks fine. Thanks for sharing.

[Murugan Anantharaman]

Nicely spotted Dr.Katre, they are elusive and not that easy to spot. The ear is distinct as Sabyasachi has pointed out. Thanks for sharing.

[Abhirup Dutta Gupta]

very nice shot.

[Saktipada Panigrahi]

Nice documentation of unique pair of antlers, looking like elevated ribs marking the forehead. Nose and eyes look beautiful. As regards right ear, it may be a born deformity or an accidental split at very tender age, just a guess. In case of cow I have seen such deformity. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild
