Loved the details and the passion in the eyes.

Quite a dramatic image, they are really locked in battle. A bit tight in the frame but that does take you right to the action. It's helpful if you post some details about the image, such as focal length, shutter speed, location, etc. Thanks!

Well done to get a view of both their eyes in this battle, it really shows the intensity of the interaction as they strain to dominate each other. These look like Sambar deer and nice detail - those sharp tines look lethal!

These are Sambhar stags shot at Ranthambhore NP, India.

Yes This a deliberate tight crop to get focus on their eyes. This was shot with a D800E and a 400 2.8 G at F4, 1/250, ISO 360.
