A follow on from my last upload after the larger stag had won the play fight.

Was a little unsure of the composition here because of their positioning, so I cropped a little from the left hand side.

Thanks for viewing.

light and setting are lovely of course, interesting poses, does make you wonder what they're doing

Good morning Fran,

The composition works for me, agree with Jack re the lighting and setting, like it lots.

Nice atmosphere and colours here Fran. Have you tried a portrait crop on this?

Hello Fran.

I wouldnt worry about the comp to much as the feel to this is very nice.

Compositions are never easy when there are two subjects in the picture and I find the middle works well as I feel it as here.

I like the composition Fran and the light is lovely. Judging by the antlers the fellow on the left will have the head start

Thanks all.

Simon I hadn't thought about a portrait crop. I have since looked and decided I prefer it the way it is, as I didn't want to lose too much of the surroundings. I do appreciate your suggestion though, thank you.

Great lighting and the comp is fine as it is, IMHO.
