Been enjoying some wonderful images reflecting the seasonal weather we are having, and thought i would see what you think of this one . . . .
Taken yesterday, near Aviemore, -6 in the middle of the afternoon.
There are quite a few of these little guys in this area, but they tend to be quite shy and stick to the woodlands - apart from this fellow, who seems to like hanging around with the red stags.
Anyway, thanks for looking, and all comments welcome.

I like this a lot!
I do have a tendency to like any snowy pictures at the moment, maybe as it feels like it's about time we got some 'proper' winter weather.
I hope you weren't lying in the snow too long to get this!

An excellent shot, just wonder if it needs a bit of clockwise rotation ???
An excellent , well seen and taken.

Thanks everyone for your comments.
Ray, I thought long and hard about a rotation. In reality, the stag is walking up a shallow banking, and therefore what you see is actually correct. I suppose because there are no points of reference, i.e. a tree, it is difficult to gauge the correct vertical alignment.
Thanks once more.
regards
Phil.
