Fantastic habitat and pose, is he calling or yawning?
This could also be a vertical as mentioned, but I think I rather see this one because of the colors of the habitat.
I like it as presented just has a great feel The vertical could also be strong btw not sure what body are you using but if it performs well regarding noise suggest cranking the ISO Nothing like a little safety margin. Excellent !!!
Like is as presented but a vertical comp would probably been my first choice. Love these red deer remind me so much or our wapati.. The open mouth (yawning I would guess) adds to the image. Very well done.
David,
I would go for a vertical due to the way its head is angled upwards and the eyes are outwards. I would have gone for a horizontal if there would have been a side profile of the head. Nice action. I like it. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
