Another stag in the mist.
Another shot from saturday morning. The closer in the stag came the less pronounced the effect of the mist. Also the light was improving all the time, giving me a chance to lower the iso a bit. The white shapes everywhere are mist covered cobwebs, the field was absolutely covered in them and gave the whole scene quite an ethereal effect.

Nice. I think I prefer this one to the first with the animal going out of shot.
Cheers

Hi Robert,

It has a lovely pre dawn feel to it. The stag has a lovely pose and is well positioned in the frame. Love the setting to.

Very nice

i like this one a lot more than the last. The cool colours and the dew on the cobwebs really give this that early morning feeling. The next best thing to being there.

A real misty picture. I think this one is better then the one before.

Hi Robert,

I really like the setting, composition and eye-contact. Looks like your mist was a lot lighter than ours. On the same day, I made the mistake of trying to take a shorter route on the way to photograph the same subject, big mistake it was, took 20 minutes to drive 3 miles the fog and mist was so thick :rolleyes:
