I'm really gutter about the visible road, I hope people won't notice it that much :-) Unfortunatelly everything happened in a few moments and didn't have the time to move and capture from a different position, I was also afraid of upsetting the stag as I wasn't that far away.

Beautiful shot! Excellent capture! I really like the saturation you did with this and I think it made a very strong image. I'm assuming you did a duo-tone type conversion? It doesn't look quite B&W. I'm glad it isn't, I like the tones you used here. Beautiful animal. Sharpness looks really good. Good luck with the challenge!!!
I like this shot because of the interest and the natural feeling. I am not a fan of the overall composition though. The lighting is terrific as well as the focus. Above average rating.
