one more deer
While at Bradgate I had this wonderful opportunity to sit down at a little stream and wait for the deer to cross. By looking at those paths made by the deer it was almost certain that it was about to happen sooner or later. Danny and me where, as always, very lucky.
When you go with Danny's one to ones, I'm sure he will show you that spot.

All the best and thanks for looking.

Nice image Ed :wavey:

To be super critical a little less space on the right, a bit more on the left, a bit off the bottom and a bit more at the top as the antler points are a bit tight to the frame edge. :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :biggrin:

Nice light, nice action and a handsome beast :wavey:

Wonderful setting and the splashing water puts this one up a notch.

Good shot.
I'd go with Andy on possible alternative cropping.
Yes the water makes it.

lovely action and light and of course a gorgeous setting, composition doesn't seem quite right for this though

Hello Ed

I thought you would like my little place and the light was fantastic on that day just as the large stag crossed, worth getting wet and cold feet for :wink:

Great shot everything works for me don't understand the nits but then hey what do I know. Not every day you see a stag crossing a river.

I've seen them do that a few times at Bradgate (photographed one too). Captive deer do seem to be creatures of habit. Nice shot.

Hi Edwin,

Very nice. Lighting is sublime and the water splash just makes it perfect.

Agree it colud do with a bit more space to walk into and the antlers are a bit close to the top.

Regards

Now this is one outstanding image.

Perhaps a tad high in the frame, and to nit pick perhaps a crop on the right.

Now if I was you, I would engrave this location in places where no one would ever think to find it, and go back and try for a vertical, flip[ so the stag is facing to the right, and you have one exceptional front cover.

As I said, an exceptional shot, which I will remember for some time.
