top pic....nice but antlers cut off....need full antlers in this type of shot......not like cutting of the top of a human head....

bottom pix...need to clone out the limbs....very distracting running thru antlers like that.........

A question.....what type of deer is that? Never seen a deer with flat antlers...like a moose.

basflt

its a male Fallow Deer , very common here
in the park i shot it , they are so common they need to be shot [ not w camera i mean ]

--
i agree on the antlers , but
clone out the limbs ? that i dont understand
it is standing kneedeep in snow , why would i alter that ?
perhaps you mean the branches ? in that case i understand & agree

thanks , very useful

Art Scott

Sorry for that....tree limb that runs into and across antler.....

Fallow Deer....hmmmm all the photos I have ever seen of Fallow deer they had spots.....just like our Whitetailed Deer fawns......

basflt

understood

they change color thrue the seasons
tan with spots in summer , gray with faint spots in winter

Quite the find/catch. Don't ever see deer here. Along with what Art mentioned I think some fill flash would have helped these greatly. Would bring out the details in the shadows .

thanks for tip , i'll try
do you mean fill flask from camera , or from editor ?

---
dont see them "wild" here either
its special park , one hour drive away , for me
it has the largest population of all our nature-parks
you have do yer best not to see them

edit;
just tried , it makes a great different indeed
thanks for taking time to reply
