    Nice capture of a magnificant animal.

    Try to play aroung with a bit tighter and more off-center (to the left) crop.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Nice shot -- but I agree with Dick, a centered subject is never (okay, rarely) the best option. With the reindeer just a bit to the left, it appears like he is walking into the frame, instead of walking out of it or standing still -- conveys a feeling of motion that attracts the viewer's attention -- but other than that, great exposure, focus, and DOF.
