Red deer in Richmond Park, West London. Here's the Tick Tech Talk: Samsung GX-10, Sigma 70-300mm lens at 190mm, 1/60s, f5.6, aperture mode, ISO 200, spot metering.
Excellent Color and Detail Nigel.
The Blurred Foreground Objects seem to give it a Looking Through the Porthole Sort of Feel Rather than a Distraction.
I'd Advise You To Remove This Image Before Tick Sees It.
Hunting Season is Now Open. LOL.
Excellent Post.
This Image GRABBED my EYE. That's Why I Stopped By.
Thanks For Sharing ! The happiest people don't have the best of everything.....they just make the best of everything they have.
speechless, this one is brill, when did you go you meanie??!! hehe, oh well, i cant complain, i was in thailand :-P !! into my faves, i wish id been with you.
Don't know about you blokes over there, but where I am most hunters would be drooling while admiring the "rack" on that magnificient creature ... as for me ... I'm content admiring a wonderful capture by a fine photographer. Great work my friend.
This is a great picture...better keep Tick out of the area. (Unless all he has with him is a camera.) I love the color tone and the clarity of the deer. Excellent shot.

Too late, the Tick has bagged it by putting it into the faves. What a shot Sir Shrek. Lucky for him it was you. I really like the post work. It looks like you didn't have to do much if anything. Great post.
I echo the above comment. Great use of DOF here, the details even at high mag are tack sharp. Excellent natural fall tones as well. Just a joy to view. Good one Nigel.
When I see pictures like this one, I always wonder about the photographer. Were you walking, came across the opportunity, and snapped off as many shots as you could before the animals noticed you and ran off. Or, were you perched in a location, waiting and hoping an opportunity, such as this one, would walk into view of your position and camera lens? Whatever way you obtained the shot, it is a good one.
Great shot, Nigel and a wonderful color palette. I like your light-handed touch when it comes to post processing, the result is a much more natural photo.
..thanking you in advance for your comments. Please know that all your comments are appreciated....." Live well, love much, laugh often!" .... mygallery
This seems to be an almost perfect capture Nigel. The glorious browns of autumn, wonderful composition (although, those close-up leaves in the foreground are a bit of a distraction), fabulous DOF and most of all those wonderful deer in all their glory (with nobody shooting at them, which is a bonus).

The truth is, you really should see My Gallery.
Really nice, Nigel. I don't care for the limb in the foreground but I also undersstand that when it comes to shots like this you take it when you can. There is not normally opportunity for repositioning yourself. Wonderful capture -
Oh what beauties! Personally, I like just knowing these lovelies are out there and NOT on someones dinner plate. You were able to get such a great photo here Alex, oooops, I mean Nigel!!(bigtime grin here!) YOu were stalking these deer eh?
And look, they posed so nicely for you. The trees give the whole picture such depths....very very nice Mr N!...Verena
