Fallow Deer

The spotted and multihued coat of the Fallow allows it to blend into their surroundings and will often stand motionless, only the movement of a flickering tail will give them away.

Fallow deer have long been a favorite of hunters, with British records stating that Norman royalty, with the Kings permission, could hunt Fallow deer in the 1100's. Their meat was considered fit-for-a-king.

Fallow bucks are easily identifiable with a prominent Adam's apple and the antlers are flattened with rounded points.

Fallow prefer open areas for grazing, with woodlands nearby for safety and safety in numbers.

Hi Stefan,
Those really are some interesting antlers. The shape is unusual and you mangaged to get several views of them in this one shot. It is a busy composition with lots going on. It works well and is fun to look at.
Exposure and saturation look good to me. What would you say is the maximum distance you could shoot an animal and still have a resonably sharp image. It is often hard to tell here because I don't know if you have cropped or not.
