Red Deer part II
Back again with another Red Deer who has some tender loving in his eyes :biggrin:

The rut is about to end. This stag sat down an hour later and fell asleep.

iso 800 1/50 sec. F5.6

Hi Edwin,

Another nice shot of a Stag. I think it would be enhanced by cropping out the trunks of the tres at the top of the image, so the BG is just the greenery.

Can't wait for action to hot up round here :jump:

Regards

Hi Edwin
Great shot. Some info on frame size would be good as cropping seems the issue here.
Cheers

Another good shot Edwin. I prefer this to the first post as the stag stands out better from the background. I'm not so sure about cropping it as the trees at top kind of echo the stags antlers, I can see it would work both ways but on balance I think the crop as it is is fine.

a nicely timed shot Edwin, a slight crop might help but still works well as it is.

Hi Edwin

Nice image - I don't mind the trunk at the top of the image it works fine for me. My only minor nit is the dark OOF foreground at the bottom of the image which could easily be cloaned out!
