No Escape
With all the ridges and dips, I have no idea what happened next. I can guess though...

A very nice light here Ian, sums up the rut perfectly. Shame about the bracken covering the hinds face, but still a very nice image.

Very dramatic lighting Ian. I agree with Fran re the hinds face but then the hind is almost incidental to the main subject and that anonymity helps to focus the attention on the stag. I like it.

Yes superb lighting for a great behavioural image.

Nice lighting and the stag licking his lips! Shame about the foreground though, which does detract for me.

It captures the behaviour well but ideally if it had have been a second earlier the hinds head would still be visible, which would heve been preferable. Easier said than done at times though and still a good result for your stalking and fieldcraft.
