Early morning roar + Repost
just when you thought you couldn't face another red deer shot...

I quite like the framing of the trees on this one and the fact you can see his breath. I'd prefer to see a bit more of his legs though. A larger version is available here

Canon 40D with 400 f5.6 at f5.6, 1/800, virtually full frame.

All comments appreciated.

Hi Matt

A great shot,love the curve of the oak on the left leading to the overhanging branch but would lose the trunk on the right.
