What....no Deer?



OK.....so the story behind this one is that I got up at 4am to get out early to take some pictures of Red Deer...the idea being you creep into the hide while it is still dark and then when the sun starts to come up you 'snap' away...obviously you hope the Deer don't know you are there otherwise they leg it.

The problem with this master plan is that nature don't always do what you want it to do...hence this picture!

I was struggling to get a decent shot and turned the camera West to look what else was worth snapping.......and this pic above is what was took my breath away. I love it as I like the light from the East.......I think the composition is good(ish)......and it's classic 'Scotland'. Hope you like it?

4am. You mean you stayed up till 4am to get the shot. Really beautiful. Bound to make Angie homesick, look forward to the next one.

The photograph is fine Iain, but it would have looked even better if you got shot of the telegraph poles in the foreground, other than that, not a bad shot.
