Red Deer silhouette
Hi Guys,

Still working on the Roe Deer images but when going through some old files i came across this image of a Red Deer i shot last year.
Soon the Red Deer rut will start over here again and i hope to get some more images of these beautiful animals.

Greetings,

Hi Jeroen,

Thats a beauty! Really nice silhouette. I would probably loose the little bits of colour that are still visible in the foreground. Love the colour of the sky!

Cheers,

Lewis.

There are a few lighter areas on the deer as well as the foreground that Lewis mentioned. Even so this is great and one I'd love to get. :toast:

Well 'yaroon' another super image in a great series .
Minor nit is there is some foliage breaking through in red on my monitor which could do with a dose of burn to .Cant make my mind up on the sloping ground line either.
I'd be pleased with it though.
