You dirty dirty stag!

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

You dirty dirty stag!

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... :roll:

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.
