Taken at Richmond Park over the weekend, weather started off fairly drab but when the sun came through the clouds it made for some beautiful light. This lone red deer was sitting in the taller grass.

C & C Welcome

Hi Stuart, like the positioning in the frame, and the light as you say is wonderful! :toast:

The warm lighting is certainly what gives this image its immediate appeal but I also like the relaxing and peaceful impression given by the pose and position of the deeer. Very nice.
It may be worth lifting the background just a touch.

Nice relaxed scene... I am not sure about the divide going half way through the image but can see why you composed this way... maybe a slightly higher viewpoint, that would have shifted the divide away from the top part of the antlers...
