Chasing off his rivals
One from today, the fog was much thicker than yesterday with little sunshine and unless you got fairly close the fog seemed to suck the colour out of everthing.
This chap was kept busy chasing off his many rivals, I wish I could have got a bit more motion blur.

1/125@F5.6 ISO 220

I like this one Colin, bags of atmosphere and a good job in getting a reasonably sharp image at that speed.

I like this as well, a good capture considering the light levels. Was this Richmond Park this morning? I didn't see any action like this, in fact it seemed very subdued compared to earlier in the week.

Hi Colin,

Love the implied motion and especially that raised leg and open mouth. :toast:

Hi Colin

You have captured this rather well, crashing through the bracken, I like the bracken still on his antlers.

cheers

Colin

Justin has summed up exact my view on this shot already, spot-on, I like it.
