Looks like he is just starting-up Andy :biggrin:

Perhaps a bit more contrast? Still evocative of early morning :toast: :toast:

Super capture of both the lighting and the action.. Good composition, although I might have given it just a fraction more room at the top to give the breath room to dissipate.. Very very minor and only my opinion of course.. But I think it's a very pleasing shot..

Very nice :toast: I assume this a wild deer rather than a captive in a deer park?

Glorious indeed, super capture. Was this taken this morning? Didn't realise they are still at it :confused:

Fantastic!!!

Agree with Brett about the room at the top of of the picture, but I'd still be dead chuffed if it were mine.

Hello Andy.

Beautifully captured.

There's alot to like in this from the light to the action and the composition. All work beautifully to make an out standing image.

Great stuff Andy, love the atmosphere - I thought our chances were wrecked that morning when that woman went waddling straight through the middle of the clearing, right before the sweet spot in the light happened!

Posted by David Kjaer on October 22, 2008 at 4:22 PM
Certainly a bit special Andy!

This is lovely - light and colour. I agree with comments about having a bit more space at the top though, as this is the direction your eyes go.
