Hello

Sorry for my absence lately I been very busy with work. A quick drive though a local deer park this morning in the mist at sunrise there was lots of activity the rut being in full swing, I could only stay a half an hour so this was a bit of a grab shot.

1/1250@F6.3 ISO200

Thanks for looking

Hi Colin

A cracking shot that's full of atmosphere. Love the way the background gets progressively lighter towards the upper right corner.

wow getting a image like that, with just half an hours work.

Right place at the right time comes to mind

Great stuff Colinn.
I don't know wether its the downsizing or my monitor, but the background seems to go in distinct layers.
Nice though.
Cheers
John

Nice mysterious misty silhouette picture of this big guy.

Fab shot Colin, love the way you can see the open mouth mid-bellow

The very brightest bit of the background at the top drags my eye a little, but no big deal

Very nice, very atmospheric. Love the gradient effect of the background.

Lovely atmosphere in this. It's a shame you only had a flying visit saturday morning as the light was absolutely incredible!
