    Totally in captivity, but still took a while to get him to look at me. At Bunratty Castle in Ireland.

    Thought his antler rack was grand. I cropped out grass below him and to the left.

    f5.8, 1/125, 28.5mm. iso 200. sort of hand held--resting on a fence post.

    (I'm a bit puzzled re color--he looks much richer in color on my computer but when I look at him on this website he looks rather washed out. Does he look that way to you?

    I may have just found the answer to my own question, sort of. Checked the educational forum area and found Fabs' posting of Color Proof in Photoshop. She said to check Windows RGB, as I understand it to see how the photo will actually post. Fabs, a couple questions re that.

    1. Since I have a Mac, should I then check Macintosh RGB or should I stay with Windows RGB if that is what the website uses?

    2. If I check this and find my photo seems washed out a big I assume I should then go back to my photo and "overcompensate" to allow it to post as I wish regardless of how it might look on my monitor?


    Thanks to everyone who has posted on the educatioanal forum....I'm learning sooooo much!

    Hi Hazel,
    I like the composition and capture...he sure does look healthy. Agree with Mr. Forns on converting to sRGB color pallet. I like the sharp details and pose of this young fellow...keep them coming...:cool:

    I have been saving it for web and just re-checked and noted that the save as sRGB box is checked, so maybe it's just my monitor/eyes.... If it looks ok to you it must be ok. Thanks for the help.

    Cool stag Hazel. Nice weather. Come to Australia, you'll NEVER leave. Always sunny, well almost. :D
    Al, I never knew the save for web option does that. :( I already had an action for web resize that merges layers, resizes vert or horz and changes to sRGB. THanks for the tip. :)
