Red Deer Stags - Some critique please

[insidewildlife]

Didnt know whether to put this in wild and free or captive as the pictures were taken at Richmond Park.

I took these images last year in the Rutt on a misty morning up at richmond, although i like some of them i do feel i could have done better. I'm hoping to receive a little critique on the images and perhaps some suggestions on pointers on how i can improve when i have another crack at it this year.

I did take some more 'normal' pictures also but these are the ones im looking to improve on in particular.

Thanks in advance

Well done Alex look good to me #3 I think is exceptional and very difficult to get right

Love the misty effect, it really sets the mood.

I have the same problem with pictures taken in parks where the animals are confined, even in a large area,
I just normally put them here because wild and free doesn't seem quite right

I do love the light on the last one. The others are cracking shots too
