I know I've already commented on this, but I keep coming back to it. I really think it's superb. There's something almost magical about it. The setting alone is idyllic but to have the deer in the right spot as well is just the icing on the cake. A great shot.

Very pretty - I think you need to get out from that Pool a bit more often John :toast:.

Was it a chance encounter or an engineered one?

Thanks all
One fron a while back which I came across getting stuff ready for a talk.

Its on a rutting stand- well on the edge. The younger bucke hang around the vicinity waiting to "nip " so to speak and are often quite easily approached.

I agree with all the superlatives - the shafts of light lift it a level. Is that its tail between its legs? :smile: Whatever, I'd be tempted to remove it :biggrin:

really brilliant shot, definitely a fairytale quality to it, just needs some fairys flitting around in the background

Well now, that sets the bar pretty high for deer photos! :biggrin:
For some reason I find the foliage in the lower right slightly distracting and would perhaps prefer a slightly tighter crop but this is lovely. The lighting, especially the god beams, is spot on.
