Nice and clear shot Brian, the DOF is brilliant. I also like the dusty feel above the stag.
A question how does the D3X perform at ISO 1600 and ISO 3200 if you have tried shooting at these 2 in field ?

Hi Brian,
I really like the way the OOF FG & BG meld together isolating the stag. The frosty breath ices the cake for me here.
Congratulations on your WP!

Great color. I like the upturned upper lip, and your capture of the fog of his breath. Nice pose too.

Hi Brian,
Looks like this red deer stag made at least a few photographer's happy! I prefer your previous post (the same stag I presume?) - to me it was more unique - but this one is very nicely composed and executed as well. If the image were mine I'd be tempted to selectively play with the contrast to darken the forest in the background and make that vapour from its exhalation stand out more (so I'd darken the background and increase the brightness of the vapour).
Cheers...thanks for sharing this excellent image - looking forward to your contributions via commenting on the images of others as well...
