Stag (half of one anyway) in forest.
Scottish red deer are not easy to approach as many photographers have found out but there are situations - like this one - where the deer are accustomed to a feeding regime in the winter months.

Canon 5dII,500mm, ISO200.

A great image Peter, I would have liked to seen the tops of the Antlers though.

Absolutely superb! I've looked at loads of your images and for me this one is right up there near the top. Amazing vision!

Excellent! One nit from me though, this is more like a sixteenth of a stag. :wink:

Excellent . like the out of focus background and tree in front, pin sharp on the Stag this draws your eye straight to it

Excellent. A real sense of mystery, as if the stag is watching you safe in the knowledge he's fairly well hidden behind the tree trunk, which he is I guess :smile: :toast: :cool:

I really like this, Peter! But I think I'd have liked it even more as a vertically framed image with more antler in the shot!
