Got off work a little early yesterday and managed to find this buck harassing a couple of does. 7D, 1-400L, f5.6, 1/400s, ISO 1000, +2/3 EC, HH, full frame.
Excellent result here Steve, you should stay off work more. I like the leaning-forward pose, also the fine detail on his face, eye and fur, and that dark background sets off the antlers very well. A good result at high iso..
cheers

Do you have a noise reduction plug in? As I can't go near this high (not over 640) with my 7D.
Agree with all the above, love the thick neck of a rutting buck. Nice selective sharpening as well ( just guessing as it looks like it)
Nice job
