red deer

taken early morning a few weeks ago just before they cast there antlers on the quantock hills.canon 50d 300mm f2.8 L IS USM Lens +1.4X canon converter, Focal length 420mm
1/640, f6.3 iso 1250 Monopod slight crop

Well captured Mike what a lovely pair of red deer, how lucky to get this Bronia

The 50D is not known for its high ISO capabilities and this image is very grainy in the background, The deer dont look overly sharp either, is this a large crop, maybe it just needs some extra USM but that may not help with the grain, Nicely composed and exposed but i feel the ISO is taking detail away

Not a subject I am familiar with but looks ok to me at this level of repro.
I like the positioning of the animals by the cropping I suspect.
Have come back to this a few times and each time I like it a bit more ! Not sure why . Maybe wild deer in the natural habitat.
Anyway I like so there we are.
