Had a quick afternoon at Bushy Park yesterday. Didn't have too much luck finding any deer in decent locations although we stumbled across this one who was having a good old splash about it a big muddy section of water. He totally soaked himself in water and mud which looked quite cool against the warm colours away from the shade of the tree we were under. He then wondered off out in to the grasses behind making sure he was always in a position that wasn't quite right photographically from where I was...



D3, 200-400 at 400mm, f5, 1/500, ISO1600

Nice contrast between the blues and the yellows..

Cool shot Richard, earthy and, well, er, dirty.

Great shot Richard! Top contrast between the stag and the background and nice and sharp. ISO 1600 - I'm jealous!

Fantastic shot, as has already been said you have a nice contrast of cool and warm tones, nice background separation and nice and sharp.

Hi Richard - the shade the stag is in just makes it a little too cool for me. Have you tried a version where you make the stag less cool? It is possible this might destroy the lovely warm background.
