Red stag

[Attila Seprenyi]

Yesterday we had a nice clean frosty morning. I have been following red deers on this area since they started to roaring. This guy had a fight with the alpha male about a month ago. He lost. Now he is lonely the alpha is driving 22 cows and calves. This is the life out there.;)
Canon 40D + EF400 5.6L 1/125s f/5,6 ISO200 C&C are welcome

Gorgeous light in this Attila. Agree with crop suggestion. Where is this in Sweden? Cheers.

[Attila Seprenyi]

Thank you Harshad and David for looking!
Harshad i have another crop of this image with lesser OOf FG but for some reason a wanted more room on the bottom. Maybe mistake!?
David this place is about 30 km from Stockholm to west northwest near to Upplands Bro.
I am looking forward to see others suggestions too.

Agree about the pano crop, will improve the comp, beautiful light.

[Katie Rupp]

Lovely light and I like the placement of the deer and agree that a pano crop will enhance the image.

[Robert Amoruso]

I agree with the pano crop idea - just leave sufficient room at the bottom for the virtual legs (you can see them but you know they are there). I like the head turn for the good look at the antlers but hope you got one with his head parallel to your position.

I am not so skilled in pano crop but i tried. By the way is there any rule of proportion for pano images?

[DanWalters]

LOve the repost. Like how the light is hitting the subject and everything else is in shade. Nice comp as well.

[Morkel Erasmus]

love how the light falls on this magnificent specimen, Attila! I like the repost but feel you've cropped just a tad too much (the virtual legs factor as mentioned by Robert). Somewhere between the original and the repost would work for me.

If he lost I'd like to see the guy that won. Nice looking specimen. I like the sliver of light that he's in. Both versions work for me.

[Attila Seprenyi]

Thank you for looking!
Steve! I have some photos of the winner too. I´m going to post one of them in a new thread.
