Good image quality for ISO 2500 and the 7D.

100-400mm at 400mm was to tight in my opinion. Clipping the antlers and cramping up the bottom of the face. Even if you were looking for just a head shot, going vertical and framing in some room to left and right of antler would give you nice view of the torso.

Hi Robert, Though the comp was a bit tight, I kinda liked the framing with the antlers forming a "V" in mid frame and thought it gave a different perspective. I do have shots at wider angles, will post em later. Your points are well taken! Thanks

Hi Sanjeev, IQ looks better, especially at high ISO. I agree with Robert's suggestions on the comp.

TFS,
Rachel

I fully agree with Robert here.
High ISO well handled.
