I do like this, Mike, and it is good to see what I assume to be a truly wild animal rather than one from a deer park. I do think that there is a lot of unecessary space at the top of the picture, and would suggest cropping some off the top.

Mike it's a fine image of this great looking beast,agree with david it does improve it with a bit off the top.

Excellent, like the crop version.

I agree, the crop version looks the best. A very nice image.
Another vote for the croppe version. A slightly lower viewpoint to put more of the stag against the green of the field would improve it a bit for me but looking at the oof stuff in the lower foreground I guess that wasn't an option. Still a very nice shot.

Nice one Mike - crop works a treat
My only nit would be the lighting but there's not a lot you can do about that.
