Wildlife Image of the Week for the week ending October 26th, 2012: Austin Thomas - Breathing fire

[Daniel Cadieux]

Congratulations Austin!

It is that time of the year again when Red Deer are high up on the target list.

Taken last weekend as the sun was breaking over the horizon. There was not a lot of interaction between the males when I arrived, just some grunting and moaning, so my intention to take "action" images was looking like a non starter. I therefore switched my plan and went for a more peaceful and atmospheric image.

Canon 1DX, 800mm, f5.6, ISO1600, 1/2000

Cheers

Austin
