Cover: Ben King captured this image of a whitetail buck. “I encountered this buck at golden hour two evenings in a row and then never saw him again,” King said. “After the first day, I noticed that the background colors practically glowed from a different angle. That is where I set up on the second day, and the buck walked down the exact same trail! I had to lean slightly to the right to split the frame with yellows and reds. Nothing beats fall in Virginia.” ©Ben King
