Red Stag
Hi all :wavey:

Apologies for not contributing for almost a year I’ve been extremely busy with work and family this year and have had little time for photography. I have had the odd day out but you soon get out of the routine and practice.
I thought I would pop along to the local deer park (Bushy) just to get myself back into the swing of things. I found this chap who I recognize from last year the sun was low and was highlighting the flies and his breath as he roared.

D2x 200-400 AFS
F/5.6 @ 1/160 400 ISO 75% crop CS3

Thanks for looking
