A lovely image Jeff,the colours to the BG are beautiful,needs a slight crop to the RHS giving more room on the LHS for me,lovely find and photo though

HI Jeff, I don't know how much of a crop this is but it's showing some artifacts around the stag esp. around the antlers, ear and underside. There are also some white artifacts in the grass. These might be relics of processing however. Nice idea though and together with Craig comment you might want to crop some from the top. The setting and light are very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Jeff,
lovely shot and lighting
Until I read Bretts comment I was trying to clean specs of dust off my screen
There appears to be a halo around the whole Stag and white specs in the grass.

Yes something gone wrong in your processing Jeff but as covered a nice idea.
At least your one antler shouldn't take a lot of identifying.

Nits have been covered Jeff, might be worth revisiting this one as I can see a very nice image lurking in there, once sorted, maybe reposition the deer further to the righthand side.

Hi Jeff,
I had a little play, I hope you don't mind? If you do then let me know and I will delete the post, I have already deleted the images from my files.
There is still something a little odd going on in the foreground and sharpness seems to be an issue, perhaps due to a crop with such a high ISO? I have added a bit of contrast to produce a pure silhouette and a little saturation. This also works well with your last post. Obviously this is just personal preference and may not reflect what you saw at the time, but there are great images in there, maybe worth another play with them.
