A visit from the mother-in-law is not as bad as it sounds, means I can get out a bit. After 3 hours waiting under a throw over hide I was beginning to think the swirling wind had given me away, but then it got dark and stormy, the rain came and only then did they appear. My 5DII failed to focus on much so I was forced to use the 7D at ISo1600 :( Still I was at 1/100sec. A Nikon D3s would have been ideal ;)

7D, 500mm.

I'm afraid the comp doesn't do it for me on this one Neil. The inclusion of the rump of the extra deer and also what appears to be the white patch of another deer takes the edge off the image. Also the stance of the deer looks a tad awkward.

Unfortunately i have to agree. The composition is a bit akward with the oof Roedeer on the left.
