Another Stag running through Bracken, one of only 4 shots, 2 of which were junk, wasn't sure about this one, cropped about 10% off to emphasise the antlers and neck

The Stag had crossed the river and was running up the banking after his hinds, before he disappeared into the trees.

1DS M3
600 F4 @ F5.6
ISO 400
1/40sec.

I think it works very well. Great sense of movement and a dynamic composition. I'm not normally keen on the legs not being included, but here I think it works fine. :toast:

As with your other picture, only half the image appears. It looks great from what I can see though so thats a compliment !!.
Don't know what the problem is.
Maybe windows 98

I think the majority of the image works very well. IMO you need to loose the green in the bottom right corner. I dont think it matters too much but is really a bit of a nit pick.
Cheers

This floats my boat too. It's a not a picture of a stag, its a picture about what a stag is. This image has life and its very good.

I like it but I do find the bracken in the bottom right corner a little distracting.

Otherwise good shot

Great panning on this one, really get the sense of motion and the wet fur from the crossing looks good :smile:
