At about eight, we saw this stag chase off a rival leaving behind this golden sunlit scene. Thinking he’d eventually return to his harem, we waited under the canopy until he walked back into the path of sunlight, then he roared and I took the picture.
Taken using a Nikon D700 with a 300 f4.0 lens at f/4.0, 1/90 and ISO 900

Stunning image David, The light and his breath is awesome, (I just love Red Deer) I only get down to Richmond once a year just before the rut mid Sept so the guys are still quite friendly with each other, so seeing this image make me want to have some time here in Oct. Regards Alan S
