Jeroen I like the way the Stag is framed by the tree trunks and the light through the middle of this dramatic image.

I do find it dramatic, but there is just too much black here for my taste. Others will probably love it.

Good to see out of the box thinking, for me this isn't quite working and agree that there is probably just a little too much black, perhaps a slightly tighter crop might work?

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your comments so far and would have to agree this might work better in landscape..

greetings,

I think it is terrific Jeroen and a landscape crop including the outer trees would make it even better

,I reckon a landscape crop would improve it no end.

Great idea Jeroen but I also agrre that a landscape crop looks better as it reduces the amount of black. I also think both sets of antlers should be isolated from the tree trunks. Easily sorted if you had a mind.
