Foggy Buck with repost

Gallery: WildlifePosted November 26, 2010188 views9 comments

Same buck from last week's Weekly Challenge entry, taken in heavy fog last weekend. Assuming I did the math right, this is 42% of the original image, much less than I would have guessed. 7D, f/8, ISO 400, 1/125. C&C always welcome and appreciated.

Very ghostly! Like the way the deer is just visible through the fog.

Another really nice, foggy buck photo, Rob. I really like the mood the fog creates.

The mood is indeed lovely Bob. My first thought was that I would have preferred much more room (negative space) around, particularly to the left. Seeing this is a heavy crop that is still an option

Hi Rob,

No doubt that this is moody! I'm with Vincent in thinking that I'd prefer more room all around in this image (it's not all dependent on extreme detail - which can be a driving factor in closely framing/cropping an image.

Cheers...thanks for sharing this...

Thanks for the input, everybody. Here is a less tight crop. If I change to a 3:2 instead of 5:4 ratio, there is still a little more room to the left. Either ratio keeps putting the head almost dead center though; it that a problem?
