Play Fighting Stags
Hi everyone, just returned from a trip to Carnforth. I visited the Leighton Moss RSPB Reserve a few times, and came away with some suprise shots. These two Red Deer Stags were play fighting against a backdrop of reeds, in the afternoon sun. They were a long way off, so the image has been cropped a bit. All C&C's most welcome,
Regards,
Paul. :wavey:

Looks like they've been having a muddy paddle. Nicely composed and behaviour well captured Paul :wavey:

A well timed shot Paul, looks like you could've done with a 600f4 for this one :wink:
Well captured mate.

Nice action shot , would be tempted to loose the top , perhaps to the top of the reeds .

Nicely captured shot Paul. Good composition. Agree with Mark about the crop though.

Hi nice capture...I would loose about 1.5cm from the top.
