I think he's seen you Oscar! I would be tempted to increase the contrast and saturation slightly, but that's just personal preference.

I like it! :smile:

Good stag shot Oscar
Maybe more impact with a slightly tighter crop to lessen the impact of the branch ??
Or even maybe a wider crop ?
Cheers

Cool shot; lots of impact. I might be tempted to burn the nose in to darken it a bit.

Great shot, with beautiful warm colors and nice eye contact- London is a wonderful place to live for many reasons, and Richmond Park is one of those- Very well done, Fabio
