Hi Karan,

Good DOF giving a nice 3rd effect. The framing is very effective and is in itself a lesson learned by me. Well done.

What a magnificent animal Karan. Well captured, and showing the body does help balance those large antlers. I like how the shadows from the sun falling on him show up his features and fur too. Wwell done,

Hello Karan,
What a proud animal... Beautiful!
Good light and pleasant composition, fine details in the fur and a lovely pose is captured...
I like the point of view, as sky becomes the background!

He seems contemplative indeed; I like his expression :) This is an excellent and very detailed capture with superb lightning, POV and composition. This exposure is so nice and he has a beautiful light in its eye. This is really well done! Thanks,

Hi Karan.
Next your perfect at high range shot of this nice animal. I like your lens very much and have it too. You use it perfectly. Crisp sharpness, great details and nice colours of the animal image. Reflection of the hair is outstanding. I can to touch it. Composition, POV and DOF are outstanding too as well as the use of sunlight and shadow. BRAVO. Very interesting and skillfully done work. TFS.

Hi Karen,
I really like how you have composed and framed this shot. Those big antlers needed plenty of room. The OOF trees do make a nice frame for his face. Detail is excellent. I thought the colors were acurate,but somewhat muted, so I did a workshop to see if I could help bring them out. A really great shot!

Hi Karan,
Beatiful portrait from the side of this stag.
Nice compostion and pov. I like the light you had here it seems to highlight the tips of the horns.

Hi Karan

After thorough and deliberate contemplation I came to the conclusion that this is a lovely shot of the thoughtful stag.

I like your composition, POV, and cropping with the trees you used on the left side as a framing prop. The colours are very natural, the details are sharp and well defined, the evenly coloured grey BG is complimenting your subject very well, and you made good use of the available light. Nice little catch light in the eye.

Well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hello Karan

Very nicely positioned in the frame.Excellent POV and DOF.The details are sharp,and the colours are well saturated.The blurry tre branch actually kind of emulates the antlers and makes a great frame.TFS

Hi karan,
What a maginificent photo. Such a great pose and it really looks like this guy is contemplating....darn I should have had this shot when I posted my contemplating photo some months ago. You really got close this time.
Sharpness are details are perfect, but watch out with the USM, some pixelation is visable. The low sunlight really brought out the beauty of this animal.
TFS,
Niek

Magnificent photo, magnificent specimen.

Amazing detail can be found on his coat and head, you must have gotten pretty close for this! Really like the composition and how he's looking to the side, great expression.

My fave from your deer photos.
