One from today,the Fallow rut is in full swing and on arrival the forest was full of deer grunting and antlers clashing!
As it was afternoon I had gone to photograph the autumn leaves which are nearly at there best and was very suprised to find the deer so active.
This is a shot I have wanted to take for a long time,its nearly there maybe in a weeks time when the leaves have changed a little more?

Nice one Craig.
Nothing much doing here in Wyre this year.
Cull too big I reckon.
Cheers

Really nice, the deer was certainly in the right place for you and you have taken superb advantage.. all works well for me, perhaps try and darken the top and left to emphasise the 'tunnel' effect?

Lovely image Craig, great colours and the pose of the deer suits the shot perfectly.

I really like this image and the tunnel effect created by the trees. A moment in time caught well.
Just a minor nit re what looks like a little Honey Monster with two little eyes on the right. Its obviously a reflection of something.
