Sunrise deer fight.
Ok so it's not two huge stags battling to the death but I caught these two having a little scrap on saturday morning at Bushy Park. The light was incredible as the sun came up through the mist.

D3, 600mm, 1/640, f5.6, ISO 280

It may not be two mighty stags but it's one hell of a shot! There won't be many pictures posted better than this.

Now that is the shot I am after! Excellent shot - love the rich colour and drama. Beautifully captured! Nice low angle too. Second Simon's thoughts on this one.

Gonna be brave here..... To be honest I have been feeling that perhaps lately the forum has become a bit saturated with stag fights and deer in general.

Don't get me wrong I know tis the time of the season but this shot has given me something fresh to look at and it really does give a different view on the subject !

I love the colors and POV, cracking shot !

Corrrr! Fantastic shot and I wish it was mine!
Drew you're right but these things are cyclical and fear not - soon you'll have 2000 seal photos to wade through!
