Took this in Richmond Park UK, south west of London. Early morning type of shot. 1/100 F5.6. ISO 200. Canon 5D. 500 IS F4 on a monopod, my preferred choice for deer stalking due to its mobility.
David,
Lovely feel to the image.I like the composition and the background colours. I agree with Peter that the image is stronger due to the eyes being visible. I like the out of focus foreground layer at the bottom. Thanks for sharing.
I saw the thumbnail and thought to myself 'Richmond Park?' lol. I'm quite local to both that and Bushy and have had some great success with the deer there. I really like this, a classic shot done very nicely here. Agree with the others about the eyes!
A very atmospheric image - you really captured a sense of environment. On an initial glance the foreground bothered me but after further consideration would not play with it, I think it would take away a sense of place.
Thanks for sharing.
I really like the light and the color of the foilage. The only thing distracting my eye if the OOF vegetation in the foreground. But that is pretty minor.
