Hi everyone.

yesterday evening my feeding site payed off. This wonderful animal came for just 3 minutes. But that's long enough for me:) It was quite misty but I really like the mood it created.

iso 320 1/40 sec. F5.6

Very nice image Edwin the muted colours are a contrast to the deer which is nice and sharp. I would have liked to see it a lttle bit darker ( but that could be my monitor )

Regards

Ian

Lovely colours and a super comp go to make this a very atmospheric image Ed, and the mist just makes tops it off great

Yes very nice.
I thought about having it a bit darker but it might loose the "misty" feel.
Good though.

very nice setting and light, out of interest what are you baiting them with

Thanks guys

I'm feeding them with pelleted feed. You can buy it at stores where they sell food for horses, pigs, goats etc.
Just a hand full per deer is enough to attract deer for just a few minutes.
Don't feed them, just lure them!!!!

I like it and the mist adds nicely to the atmosphere.

Really lovely image and I bet the simplicity and misty tones obscure the amount of planning time and patience it took to get. Great stuff Edwin

Wow Ed fantastico I think us brits take red deer for granted because we have so many of them but in Holland there is less than a thousand so you have done really well to get such a beautiful shot.
