Fine shot, Tom. Really nice pose, background oof and you have caught his stare / ears out listening. I reckon he was not afraid of you (which can be dodgy).
Very reminiscent of the Monarch of the Glen if he had a few more points on his antlers.
Cheers for your comments Dougie. Must have been the way I was talking to him but I always have an exit strategy

However, they are such majestic beasts and it is a pleasure to be near them.
Love it. I tried capturing some in the new forest the other day, real hard, saw some but once we were in position they'd scarpered!
Fantastic image,they are such majestic beasts,just caught my first sight of one in the New Forest tonight spectacular animals to watch.
