Dear deer ! & who's that coming over the hill ?

I had seen a whole herd of deers but not in a very well exposed situ Later as I was coming along the path with a steep slope to the side of me -a head appeared & eventually the whole deer was in view -just looking down at me !! obviously been wallowing in a muddy pool where I had seen them before

[carol white]

Well spotted,a super capture!!

[Anita Campbell]

Incredible capture and timing to get this big fellow.

[Jacqui Paterson]

Poor old stag has had his antlers removed. Nice capture

Great shot and from an unusual pov. Love the sky as background too, it shows him off to perfection.

This is a wonderful shot, the PoV is great as it makes him look enormous, a super capture.

[Beryl Lloyd]

@jo13 Thank you Jo for your meaningful comment - I appreciate it so much ! :-)

[Rick Schies]

That looks like a huge one. At first I thought it was a moose

[Judith Johnson]

Wow - he's bigger than the fence! It reminds me of the Three Billy Goat's Gruff - OK I know it's not a goat, but he's so huge!

[Graham Thresher]

Instant fav. Love the composition which is enhanced by the blue sky.

[Gunilla]

Amazing!!!! Wonderful composition, well done!

He looks so large. Taller than the fence. Great capture

[Hazel]

Oh well done, Beryl! Nice pov too! I saw a deer today but it made off at the speed of light so that was another one that got away.

Crikey Beryl this is an enormous deer....he looks magnificent looking down on you & what long legs...must be a special type of deer.

[Sian B]

[Malc Bird]

What luck! He is very leggy and just strolling by :)

[Laraine Kensicki]

beautifully shot, right between the fence posts - and what a brilliant blue sky! excellent shot, Beryl!

[Beryl Lloyd]

@eniaral Thanks Laraine -at the time I didn't realise I had him between the two fence posts --it's amazing what you see in a photo you never realised was there

[Dandolo]

Well captured. They don't aften present themselves like this but you have made the most of it.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Great shot and pov, he does look curious.

[Beryl Lloyd]

@hudamor Thanks Huda - I agree with you he does look quite inquisitive & curious

[Darren Juden]

Fab shot Beryl - he looks huge in comparison to the fence!

[Beryl Lloyd]

@darrenboyj Hi !! he was !! but I didn't think of it at the time !!

[Alison Tomlin]

Looks grand from the angle you took against that blue sky! Thought it was a giant moose from the thumbnail

[Beryl Lloyd]

@fueast Thanks Alison -- he does look rather moosish ! & I do not know what type of deer they were ---all big & gangly anyway !! not the prettiest either !!
