Got this shot from a few weeks ago. This stag was in control of around 20 hinds, and was trying to get one back which had ventured across the stream. Light was rubbish so I left things as they were and tried for some panning.

1DS M3

ISO 200

I like it, especially the raised head and partially open mouth. A really good bit of movement captured in the legs too. :toast:

makes me feel i'm there. There really is a certain raw nature feeling about the image.

this has worked very well. A good sense of movement.

Not the sharpest picture I have seen on this forum, but the sense of movement and power more than compensates for that. Great action shot.

Thanks guys,

Colin: That was the hind which had ventured across the river, he was trying to chase her back with the rest of the herd! One of those moments when I wished I was shooting at 300, as i'd have liked to have gotten both in!
