What a handsome stag. He's been rutting in the bracken and given himself a new hairdo! This was taken early yesterday morning as the sun came up. (my camera time and date are wrong).
Thank you everyone for commenting and faving does at dawn put on yesterday. Glad you like it. Made it all worthwhile getting up so early!
Oh wow! where are you living? this is so cool, haha look at him! I love the nature pictures - I can imagine your happiness when you did that shot, because wild pictures require patience;) :)
Incredible - Do you enter many competitions Chantal? I am sure this would win. Next year's entry for Country file Calendar perhaps? You must have been so excited to capture this. Fav obviously
Holy cow! Wish I could fave this a few hundred times! Amazing shot, Chantal! He looks SO disgruntled. Trying to look all bada$$ and those dang ferns are stuck in his antlers. Ha ha ha!
Absolutely unreal - fantastic shot! Fav - those colors, the setting, the subjects, your light - I could go on - one of the most delightful shots I've seen in quite a while.
OK, you made me look up "rutting"!! It sounds like a big frat party to get the attention of the females!! No wonder this handsome guy is all decked out!! Great capture!
