As it's red deerfest just now I thought I'd join in too. Something different...hinds on a patch of snow a few Novembers ago.

Supremely simple and worth having as a wall hanger

Great image John. Looking at it makes you wonder about all sorts of possibilities. Reminds me a lot of the Smirnoff type adverts over the last year or so where things aren't quite what they seem :smile:

Cheers everyone - thanks for the positive feedback - glad the slightly more abstract representation is appreciated. I love this sort of wildlife landscape - sometimes in nature photography it is as much about the place as well as the subject, and its not always easy to show both. I sometimes fall into the trap of trying to get too close, when the real shot is actually much further back.

Beautiful shot John, nice to see something that goes against the grain.

As soon as I saw this I had the same thought as Colin.... Zebra. You should have entered this into WPOTY.
