Well not according to these guys. Taken Wednesday 28th Oct, at Windsor Great Park. They were at it for nearly 10 minutes, spinning round and backwards and forwards.

Good action Mark. A bit tight around the stags particularly on the right hand side. Shame about the 'manicured lawn' appearance of the grass but then that's parks for you, what you gain in approachability you often lose in setting.

Good interaction shot and you probably struggled to capture them in the frame with all the movement so echo Robert's comments. I would also lose the birch(?) in the top right of the frame as it pulls my eye a little. When in parks and using my 300mm I tend not to use the Tc as I've had the same problem in the past.

I love the way these guys are really pushing - adds extra energy to the shot. It is a bit tight on the right but otherwise its a fine shot.
