This from a miserable trip to Ardnamurchan on the west coast of Scotland. It poured with rain most of the time I was there (three days). Just when you thought it couldn't rain any harder...... it did, As only it can in Scotland
But during a dry spell (ha) I manage some images of this 12 pointer red deer stag

A fine specimen you've got there Ron, but if I was honest about it the I'd say the light's a bit flat (feel sorry for you re weather but that's outdoor/wildlife photography ) and the setting's not so inspiring. Good to see some wild stag shots.
Cheers,
Des

Cloned foreground puts me off a little as does the lack of contrast in the BG, shame cos thats a fine stag shot on its own!

Nits covered, a nice image, try a levels/curves adjustment Ron!

Really love to see these, especially in the rain. Unfortunately only get up to Mull once a year to have a chance of scottish deer I'ts the less dramatic Bradgate park for me
