Hi,

One from last week.
As the day drew to a close this young stag stood up to see what was happening around him, no doubt with a view of moving in on any unattended hinds in the vicinity.

Camera:Canon EOS 5D
Lens:Canon 500mm f4 & Canon 1.4X extender
Recording media:RAW (digital)

A fine animal caught beautifully - the condensation from his breath making you catch the moment as he no doubt tests the scents in the air.

Backlighting to perfection in my eyes. I love the way we have the rim light around the body, and the subtle monochrome hue. The breath is perfect in the frame and the overall feel is exquisite. I never thought I'd say I wanted a picture of a deer on the wall, but if I did it would be this one.
