Just having a look at a few images from a while back and thought this might be worth sharing. Decided to keep the sun just out of the frame as it would have been to hot in the frame and drawn then eye..

Kind regards,

Brett

Nice.
Very good exposure and not overdone on the contrast.

Brett, this works well and as others have said a very atmospheric image. Minor point but I'd prefer a little more space to the rear of the stag, or maybe a crop off the bottom might help balance things up. :smile:

Hello Brett.

Love the mood to this and I also feel some taken of the bottom would improve the strengh of the stag in the image.

lovely shot, would agree with Cliff, re the framing, if it was looking to the right of the frame its position (to me anyway) would be perfect, but as its looking left it feels a little too far to the left of the frame. Again, thats just my feeling, its a cracking atmospheric shot though :)
