    Looks great Jon, perhaps a sliver more on the LHS, but great detail, was this with a camera club or workshop?
    Hope you said hello to Will?

    Lovely detail and colours, as well as tonality, Jon - I like this portrait very much.

    Nice DoF and BG is great, good framing, wonderful textures

    Warmest regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Thanks Steve & Gabrilea glad you liked it. I took this image whilst on a trip to the Cairngorms, we drove thorough the hill/mountains and then spotted a few deer a hundred meters or so away. They decided to cross the road and luckily came well within shooting range, no set up or baiting involved..... just good fortune.

    Great when things come together Jon, especially when it’s a serendipity moment, the blue is a nice touch and brings life to the capture. Think it’s the best processed file I’ve seen from the Olympus system.

    I think I have finally settled on a standardised initial file conversion approach, many different profiles and means of NR have been tried and now I feel I am getting more consistent results.

    It’s exactly what I said years ago Jon, keep the workflow… simple, consistent and add to the mix anything you learn along the way that adds and or with Software updates, albeit DXO isn’t a true form of PP, just a ‘sausage’ machine . Hopefully the days of ‘fiddling’ will be a thing of the past.

    Hi Jon ... a very nice capture of this younger stag .
    KIller details , superb sharpness and well thought overall processing .
    If i am being very picky .... .... i would personally remove the blue / cyans from the glossy nose . As it seems that there is no blue sky ..... which would be reflected in the wet nose on a clear sky . But i might be well wrong .
    Other than that , a peach or gem

    TFS Andreas

    Thanks Andreas, I will check out his nose. Sharpness applied was absolutely minimal at raw and final sizing. ...... Peach eh
