I do like this image alot! The pose of the chital buck is outstanding IMHO. Good color and sharpness. Certainly a different image then alot of deer photos. The chital appears to be a male in his prime. I could see this as a cover shot. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful warm tones and that looks like a well used tree ! Its interesting for its documentary value and beyond. That look gives an impression of a "guilty look" from a child caught making a mess.

Great light and excellent as posted. If you have plenty of quality pixels, you might try itcropped from the left and bottom to minimize the heaviness of the tree, for a slightly different but pleasing effect.

I like how the interest in the photo is shared between the stag and the interesting colors and texture of the tree. Sometimes if the animal is hidden in a wildlife photo it looks like a "miss" but this looks planned and composed. Beautiful lighting too! :toast:

Very interesting composition. I read Lon Sharp's comment about cropping a little from the left, and I see a lot of merit in it.
