Am I the first to post?? After a superb day weather wise, and a good crowd of photographers at Richmond, I think I can safely say that a good day was had by all!
It was good to meet up with folk!
It seems the rut hasn't got fully underway yet, and a cold snap is perhaps needed. Even though the chaps were making a lot of noise, there wasn't a great deal of action, but never the less they were a pleasure to watch.
Thanks for the lift Phil, I hope I paid you back enough in bacon rolls and coffee
Hope everyone else had a great day at Bradgate.
Regards to all,
Fran

hi fran
wonderful shot, what a great animal, hopefully they will kick off shortley, as i am going up there next week with brother mike, so hope to get some good pics
Lovely Fran. Really like the framing with the branch and fallen tree and the dappled sky just makes it. Wish the light had been as good at Bradgate. Had an enjoyable day though and met Danny Green and the infamous Mr Davies who does a stunning Stag "call" otherwise known as a burp so the entertainment was worth the trip. Its nice to be able to put faces to names.

Hi Fran
Nice, I've got one just like that
Like the way the animal is framed and works well with the fallen tree,
Good to put a face to a name, good morning all around, shame rut was not really under way but better luck next time
cheers
Colin

Hi Fran,
Nice shot, although I'm not too keen on the framing personally. I would have liked a touch more room left and at the bottom as the legs appear a little cut off and I find the bulk of the dark branches at the top a little too much, but others love it so what the heck
Cheers,
Lewis.

Hi Fran , looks like you had a great time at Richmond . Nice image , I like the framing and the BG ,but the fallen log obscures just a tadge too much for me.

Phil.
I Like this Fran, A view I didn't get.... the felled tree and the slightly misty bg make this for me.
The light in the morning was great for these magnificent beasts as shown here....
Hey I only had one bacon roll, but as a coffee-holic greatly appreciated....
