A red deer from last month
Hi,

This is another one of those pictures which I initially passed over, but since rediscovering it
I've found myself liking it more and more...

It's a picture I'd like to like, but I just can't be too sure...

(Does anyone else have pictures they want to like, but just won't quite succeed?)

Any thoughts on this one?

doesn't do too much for me if I'm honest David. My eyes first go to the OOF foreground deer and take a while to find the in focus male. The deer's rear on the right hand side doesn't add to the image either. But those are just my views, others may disagree :smile:

Hi David,

I have loads of pictures that I want to be good but are not :biggrin:

But I am afraid that I have to agree with Matt on this one :rolleyes:

I'm afraid I cannot see anything that this image has going for it David. The oof hind dissapearing out the right, the cropped antlers / legs and the two oof hinds on the left all conspire to ruin the shot for me. The hinds look as if they might have been moving, perhaps a few seconds later you would have had a clear image of the stag. If it were mine I would mark it up for experience and bin it.
