Red Deer Stag
One from today at Richmond Park, London.
A lot of stags evident today but all very mobile,managed this individual early on before it got too chaotic!!!
Lots of photographers there today and even at 7am lots of people and dogs!!
This place has got so very popular and shows just how popular wildlife photography has become,but so many people asked me what I was doing and were not even aware that the deer were there or what they were doing!!

Nikon D3,500 F4afs/Tripod

A cracking capture Craig. Really portrays the 'roar'. I don't know if this individual has a particularly light coloured head or if it's my monitor but I think a little darker in the head area would improve it for me (and take out that white patch top left). I'd be well chuffed to have taken this.
