I just noticed your comment about "herding them into the place you wanted." That's pretty funny! I've been there before and those beasts are HUGE and how you said that just made me laugh

i think the big guy in the front could have had a photo all to himself. great picture

Alex, I'm pretty sure these are elk and the males are called Bulls. I hunt them here in Montana. This is a great shot and very deserving of a blue....great job.
Post actions
You always have such awesome photographs of deer! This one... might possibly be my favorite. I love them all though. This is just an absolutely STUNNING shot.

We built my parents their first computer. My dad is an outdoorsman; so I used this image for his desktop. I tried to explain how to change it if he chose, but he would have none of it. His response was "I'm NEVER going to change it!"
Post actions
Never give up shooting...

Shame, would love to see more of your study of the deer in Richmond Park. I am sure we'll see more good shots from you in future though.

Top of the line in my eyes. Wonderful the sense of rotation from left to right.

Super nice shot. Post Card quality. Good Job.

Great capture! This is guaranteed to ribbon. Excellent job. I would have cloned out those tall plants to the right of the largest stag.
Post actions
Great Image, I love the line up of the Deer
Post actions
7 - Very nice composition, lighting and silhouette(s). Criticism; 'if only' a fraction sharper/more definition, make this even better in my opinion. Minor, but for advanced editing, perhaps cloning out that 'spot' by the right buck's knee. Difficult I imagine to tweak the colors more in this, but the light visible on the side of the middle buck's face 'emphasized' somehow, also may have given this just a little extra. Even though the horizon/land/slope is likely 'natural'/'as is', maybe rotating to get it level may have added a bit more 'drama' to this shot as well, not sure.

Stunning.. what more can I say!! Love the composition and especially love how the deer increase in size from left to right. Beautiful golden glow. Perfectly executed!!
Post actions
Wow, Excellent! Almost like motion as he transitions from small and dark to the larger, lighter on the right. Wonderful picture. Details of the grass really strengthen this one!

Ill bet you a buck this ribbons. nice job witht the colors, it must have been tempting to really push the color to sell this, but I think you understated it just enough, The profile of the elk is just wonderfull with a dramatic sense of a leader and his followers.
Post actions
Wow, this one is going to win a ribbon for sure. Nice going. This belongs on 20x30 and on your wall.
Post actions
Nice capture. The yellow light of the sunset (sunrise?) adds to the silhouette.
