On a recent red stag hunt in New Zealand I kept an eye on this

ridge hoping a stag would cross........

well mate keeping your eye out for the subject , did not pay off did it . Why didnt you use a tele so you could record the stag up close . The stag i am afraid to say is nothing more than a pimple on the horizon . Images like this are better recorded with a 400 / 600 lense suported with a monopod , if you can not get in close !

 

sorry si

Simon - Thanks for the critique on the two photos....but this one WAS shot at 500mm..... Bill

IMO the great landscape is an integral part of the enviroment where the stag lives & it is proper to include it. The stag is yet well visible. Getting it more close up would'nt really improve the image & the message it conveys. That's my two cents. Cheers, Sam.
