Stag Roaring (+ edited version)
Just back from a trip upto Bradgate with Danny Green. Here is one of my early favourites from the trip. We managed to get to the right place at the right time just as this stag came out of the bracken roaring.

C&C welcome


Nikon D300 + Nikon 300 AFS f2.8 + 1.7x TC

F4.8 1/80 Sec ISO200

Well that's a suprise......Getting to the right place at the right time with Danny Green.

Wonderful shot Ben. Maybe clone out that white strip in the background?

Well done. Love it.

The path at the rear , as Edwin has intimated ,needs patching out ,but a smart image .It looked like you were having fun .At one stage I thought it was a line out .
He did make a fine display of it for the audience , shame no encore.....

Hello Ben,

The bracken makes for a nice base and the OOF bg for a nice backdrop, even if the bg tree there distracts me a little bit. The breath completes the picture for me though :smile:

Fantastic shot Ben, wish I was ready with my camera :rolleyes: I don't know what with cards and cameras I think I have been out in the field for too long.

Glad you had a good time and it was nice to meet you.
