In his element although I find that the branches make his antlers look huge.

Nice in habitat shot, he's certainly giving it his all. The light seems a little harsh, but not really much you could do about that. I like the way the grass in shadow frames the stag.

Hi Ian.
Good shot of this fine beast,nothing you can do about it but i do think the antlers seem to tangle with the light branch.

Second shot is a lot better, shame about the harsh light, it seems to have been that every time I have gone out for the deer this autumn so I can empathise on that one, I really like the inclusion of the environment, well done
