Stonking shot Tom...a calendar image if ever I saw one.

Magic - just level up the horizon - the loch is draining out to the right! have you more in the series?
 
Wow! I can only echo the above. Stunning. And definitely agree with Mr Bob - would be an easy pick for a calender.
 
ce qui est excellent!
 
Superb - almost 3D.
 
Excellent shot. Perfect exposure and DOF. As above, I think a rule of thirds composition would have been better. Still, a completely magic moment though!
 
Beautiful. The (not sure what) hanging off his antlers is a tiny bit distracting for me, but that's only because once I noticed it my eye kept going there. But quite quite beautiful.

Thank you. I quite happy with that horizon - you are getting that visual effect because as the far loch bank goes from left to right it is also going away from you as well. Yes, its just a case of getting round to editing them.

That's a beautiful picture! For some reason I would've liked the Stag to be slightly to the left with a bit more room on the right. I don't know why but never-the-less a fantastic capture!

Thank you. Sadly the ideal doesn't always work in real terms - just out of the frame on the RH was another Stag and from this position both would not have been completely in frame. So to have this Stag and just part of the RH Stag is never going to be a nice image.

Thank you. I have partly answered you comment above, but I think its a question of working as best you can with what is available rather than follow guideline rules. For this shot I was about 15m away and to have moved position for the sake of composition would most likely have meant the shot would only have been the tail view of him as hi-tailed into the distance. :puke:

Thank you. Its a rutting Stag and foliage on their back or antlers is a characteristic of that period.

looks like a calander image. great capture
 
Quite Stunning, a superb capture.(y)
If you had to think of an image of a stag in your head, i think this would be most peoples picture.
Dean:)
 
Superb shot Tom, had my first experience of these beauts this week (y)
 
Echo the above-excellent image-with just enough DOF to retain interest in BG.

Although I'd straighten the horizon (using the rear shoreline)

Thank you Alby. Glad you had luck yourself as they are quite different animals in the wild.
