[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the second of my Deer posts. This Fallow Stag was taken in the New forest. I like the shot because it looks like the stag is squaring up to me as if to show who is the boss [btw he most definitely is :-)]. The shot also has a nice set of colours, lights and darks.

I have struggled with the crop for this shot, I wanted to get as close to 800 x 600 dimensions, but because the Stag is so tall this means I have to have the "empty" space to the right of him.

I hope you like him as much as I do.

Personally I think the empty space helps balance the stag out. This one is sharper then the last one, I like it.

A beautiful capture, Paul. It is strange for me to see this magnificent stag with spots which we tend to associate with Bambi. Great POV... I am glad you kept the whole stag, and I think the space on his right is fine... gives a space for him to look into. I rather like your composition very much. Warm colors and good details. Well done and TFS. : )

A lovely capture of a supherb animal.Great sharpness and composition.
