Fallow deer

A young buck in Petworth Park today. I was under orders from Gill not to go out today but awoke early and decided to go and see if I could get a deer. She was right - I started feeling dizzy again but it wore off. The deer were making so much noise in the rut, they sounded like bullfrogs. Unlike the day I took this one the visibility was poor so not too many clear images but I really liked this one, partly because of the way the deer is almost taking the shape of a tree. It was quite a long way to go for my blip and the mist wasn't as defining of the trees as I'd hoped. But that's the great thing about Blipfoto - we only need one.

As Robert De Niro said in The Deer Hunter: "One shot is what it's all about. The deer has to be taken with one shot." I'm happy with this.

One or two more here.
