Nice photo, lovely light and colour mike, I would have placed the subject over to the right and this would have given you some space over to the left, I have found this rule of thirds/composition guide has helped my own photography come on leaps and bounds and i hope it helps you, I'm learning and by know means want to go on like i know it all because i don't, but in your last few shots just applying this 'rule of thirds' would have transformed your images, I hope this has helped you and good luck and never give up :wink: :wink: :wavey:

Like the shot Mike, the light is very harsh, lowering the contrast a touch will improve the image loads, a little USM will also help. Do you know if the Jackdaws were using the deer as a snack bar or were they collecting the fur for nest building ??
