Pale Rudolph

During my last trip to Lapland I found this white reindeer. Unfortunately it was quite skittish and it only let me take a couple of shots (while peeing

). While I probably couldn't have got any closer I ended up liking the big mass of white space around him.

I thought this was some kind of joke. The thumbnail looked blank. I was however very pleasantly surprised when I saw the full image. Intriguing use of negative space, of sorts.

Hello Jasper, I think you've actually photographed the other strange reindeer in Rudolf's family. I believe this is his brother Randolf, who thinks he's a ghost. Nice capture, we love it!

Yea I'd be proud of this one! If nobody took risks I think everything in life would be pretty dull. You took a risk, bent the rules and got tremendous results. Great shot!

I love different and "odd" shots, instead of the usual vibrant colors and wide vistas.
This is wonderful! Congrats on EP !
