Wonderful capture! I like the light on the antlers.
Fantastic portrait of a beautiful animal!
Nicely done, very rich colors.
Very nice capture. Those guys have a very long neck.
There is quite a lot of out of focus leaves in the bottom left corner so I wonder about a slight crop from the left side and top?
Otherwise looks fine to me.
At first glance, my eye thinks 'is this a bit dark' then my brain catches up & 'sees' the light on the antlers! Zing!
Wonderful work, the only change I would suggest would not be the crop on the left, but I would clone the rightish leaves on the right, so they don't try & compete with the Antlers.
I like the beard...then I saw the antlers. Is this a kind of deer in your country? Good eye, Barbara!
Thanks Izzie.. Yes, it is a deer species found in India. Here is a bit more about it http://www.wildlywise.com/sambar_deer.htm
Thanks for the link...that was most interesting...
That's nicely caught Ashish. Lovely portrait of the animal. It would be worth cloning out those leaves across it's neck and taking some of the brighter BG leaves down a bit.
Beautiful
