What a beautiful animal. Very nice environmental shot of this buck. Excellent comp and I really like the motion implied by the raised foot. Thanks for posting in Wildlife.

Nice buck! He looks like he just got done with a swim, which helps to highlight his muscles. Well done.

Hi Nicolas---I don't have any knowledge of a red deer but I like this a lot; think the stepping-out of the animal is a good pose and the rack is awesome. Might consider cropping off some of the oof grass in the lower part of the image and a bit off the sides to compensate the size.

Very nice photo of an impressive animal! The action and wet body really accent his power.

Nice stag! Red deer (in fact all spp) are hunted so intensively down here, both from the air and ground, that a head like that would be incredibly rare in the wild and probably never seen in the open like that. I like the bit of OOF foreground and the raised foot. The composition shows a nice glimpse of habitat.
