An Early Morning Stag...
50D, 300/2.8 + 1.4, tripod BH-1 ball head.
ISO200, 1/1000 @ f8.
Raw, Lightroom 4.2

Having not been out in anger to take images for a while and with Fran away caring for family I have been working through loads of unprocessed/overlooked images... this is from a few years back...

All the best

Phil

Not sure of the stag and sun are just slightly too central? Could be just me. Colours and the touch of breath though are nice.

Now that is what you call a silhouette. Great depth, warmth and atmosphere. This certainly has the wow factor for me Phil. :toast:

Hi Phil
Can't make my mind up about this one yet. :smile:
I am tired of posting " Nice picture " comments. If I can't find any nits or offer constuctive critique - then no comments ! :biggrin:
Hope you're both OK

Hi Phill,
Overall picture looks great to me.
I would crop a little from de left side and maybe make the overall pic a litlle darker so you get a real silhouette.
One other thing is the circle of flare of the reflection (I suppose) on the stag.

Personally i think the comp is about right and wouldnt change the shot but its personal i guess. I think its a cracker as is :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:

Very nice Phil, although I too would crop in from the left a tad. I might also be tempted to remove some of the fg :toast: :toast:

Very nice image Phil, very atmospheric and the sun really makes the image.
