I like the misty atmosphere. You have incentivised me to get more deer shots this autumn, I am hoping to get Red deer, Fallow deer and Roe deer....... just maybe Sika or Muntjac.

Dear John,

I really like the pose here and environment as well as background.

Personally I would crop a tad from the LHS to exclude the thicker, darker, predominant OOF plant.

The 'mist' or 'fog' I feel is not enough to create the effect I would be seeking, would rather give the subject some 'punch' to make him stand out more.

Just my take John, others might disagree of course and it is up to you what effect you wish to achieve

Kind regards,

[Andreas Liedmann]

Hi John ... i do like the overall " moody" presentation of this image !
