Red deer at sunrise

I just love to capture red deer because they make such beautiful silhouettes. Taken in the UK last year. Some cracking light in the morning.

Very dramatic sky ;and silhoutte. Gives a feeling of this guy being the lord and master of all he sees. Very regal sense to it. Well seen and composed.

Perfect comp and expert processing. I could wish for just a little more color in the sky, but it was what it was. A solid image.

Beautiful, just beautiful! Could have been even more dramatic if the sky was more orange, but that's not in your hands, is it?

A strong silhouette indeed Edwin and the fact that the legs show entirely is a big plus. I agree an even more colorful sky could have enhanced this and make it more striking, yet I also like this more subtle version.

Fantastic silhouette of this magnificent looking deer Edwin. I like the colour as is, it gives the shot more of an early morning feel.

Great silhouette subject indeed, and a very beautiful sky in the bg. I really like the dark presentation here!

Impressive stag n beautiful silhouette !
I just wish for a higher POV, so that lower band of bright sky was fully visible, but understand that it is not always possible.

this is a very nice image Edward.
well pulled off.
you could always dodge the sky a bit more to create a bigger contrast between the brights and darks?
