Interesting to read the discussion on the birds. They don't distract me but I think the focal image on the stag doesn't need the birds. It's a beautiful scene.
After reading Taffy's comment, I had to go through the comments - at first I didn't really notice the birds - just the stag - so probably I'd go with those that feel the birds don't really need to be there. Wonderful shot and mood of the mist.
Wow! one of your best ever! Fav
I didn't think you added the birds, but after reading all of the comments, I am curious if you did. The capture of the stag in the mist and your composition is outstanding! Fav --oh I already said that!
