I Spy - with my not so little eye....

This was quite funny really - all I could see at first was antler tine tops, which seemed to rise out of the bracken until that eye was looking my way.

Then slowly it all sank back down

Perhaps the OoF foreground is a bit too much for some tastes but it adds to the effect in my book.

Cropped T&B only.

Thanks for looking folks

A very different view Andy. The eye as every all important and very clear.

Hi Andy,

Love it! Great title The lighting is something else. Great composition and tack sharp, lovely detail in the image to. A different Stag image to the norm and very refreshing.

Good work, thanks for sharing.

Regards

Rob

Great image Andy.... do I detect a little PP vignette? if so it has been very well used here...

Just a smidge Phil - FYI Digital Film Tools 55mm plugin.

Exactly my thoughts Phil, Andy, it looks like you were out with your torch

The Judges for me are still out on this one Andy

I love it Andy. Excellent use of the panoramic format. Without the foreground the image wouldn't have the same effect so I'm all for it.

Great shot, composition and crop really suits and helps draw attention to the pin sharp eye! Different, and very nice!

It works for me Andy! Very original shot of a well-worked subject.

awesome matey!! love it

Very nice Andy was the bracken tall or is it the fact you can't see over it

Danny

Super work here Andy, nice composition and great post processing to achieve this detailed result.

Lateral thinking there Andy. Very nicely executed.
