Red Deer
The last one for this week.
This time a red deer. On one of my trips together with my wife, we saw a farm with some red deers (one male and a few females). So this one is captive, but it gives me the changes to photograph it. It try to make it look like it's a wild one (no fences, trees as background and also some female red deers).
It's not completely sharp, but that's because the picture was taken handhold.
It's a pity it was not cold enough to see his breath, but I still like the picture. Hope you do too.


Lens Focal Length: 500.00 mm
Shutter Speed: 1/25 sec
F-Number: F4.0
ISO: 100
Compensation: EV 0/1

C&C welcome. Thanks for looking.

I have always wanted to get one of these shots one day, one with all golden light and mist, I can imagine its very difficult. Although no spectacular light the shot works for me.

Hi Tom

Great composition and the OOF hinds in the BG add to the image although it would have been better if their heads were up!

Nice shot, Tom. I like the composition very much.

a nicely composed shot Tom, just needs a bit of Autumn sunshine or mist to make it really special.

very nice, but the white sky in the background is a bit distracting

Hi all,

Thanks for C&C may be one of these days I'm going back to the place (when it is a little colder) to makes his breath visible.
Thanks again.
