Going for a paddle
D7000 500mm f4 ISO 400 1/640s at f6.3 beanbag on car window.

Driving along Glen Etive on Sunday and watched one stag cross the river (very low just now) and then the road then waited for the other to follow which it did after a little hesitation. Losing their winter coats just now so looks like an old rug and have started to grow their new antlers. All C+C warmly welcomed.

I like it for not only is it a good shot but it is unusual to them photographed in this condition :wink:

No nits from me either, whilst a lower viewpoint might have been nice it was obviously impossible in the situation you describe.

I love it, it's a delightful scene, it is that sort of picture where you keep looking at and it leaves a feeling of contentment! :biggrin: I love the water movement, and certainly, no nits from me. :toast: :toast:
