Hallo Karan
An absolutely true-nature-in-action-in-motion image. The expression of distraught captured on this Deer’s face is unbelievable. I am truly astound about the atmosphere of the whole scenery displayed on the screen. This is a once in a life time opportunity for the most of us, and you where fortunate to be there and experience the whole drama. Your image is wonderfully displayed, with great focus and with an emotional feeling presence. Thanks for sharing. In my opinion, this is a valuable contribution to the site.
Best regards.

Hello Karan,
What a appropriate title. I'm two years on TN today and got that feeling in photography. Thanks to great photographers like you are.
This photo is amazing. The expression is fantastic. Mostly the best photos have a high level of emotion. And this photo got it! Besides this photo is of a great technical quality. Thanks.
Kind regards,
Peter

Hi Karan!

Your picture is impressive. The Red Deer's expression, the low point of view and the fabulous colours add to the value of the picture. This autumn, my wife and I were in the Swiss National Park where we heard the howl of the deers that approached our camping site very closely. Your picture remembered me this.

Kind regards

Hi Karan,

Wow! How in the world were you able to react quickly enough to get this magnificent shot? This is one of the most expressive photos I have ever seen. The wide-open mouth and the look in his eyes says it all. The ferns almost give a sense of one of those horror movies they advertise on TV. Excellent composition with the antlers filling the frame.

Well this is certainly an unusual capture Karan. It is very dramatic. You caught the emotional essence of the rut. I love that the white antler tips are against the darker part of the background. There is a lot of visual impact.

Hi Karan
I love this image of a Stag among the fern. A unique action shot as the Stag calls out. The dark background is a nice contrast to the warm autumn colours of the surrounding vegetation. Well composed.

This is an impressive capture, Karan. You have also captioned it very appropriately.
The 'bolving' posture of this animal with only the head and antlers visible above the sea of brown ferns is very dramatic.
An excellent picture of nature at its best.
Thanks and regards.

Merhaba Karan!
Gerçekten etkileyici bir kare. Enfes dallı boynuzuyla geyiğin tam bağırması esnasında çekilmiş müthiş bir an fotoğrafı olmuş. Çok başarılı bir kare. Emeğine sağlık.

The antlers are like a huge crown and the tines have lovely symmetry.
You have managed a wonderful natural setting.

Hi Karan,
I never realized that the ferns are this high that they would cover up the entire deer. It certainly makes the game of capturing one even more difficult. But, as you have shown over and over again, you know how to make a stunning and striking photo.
The moment you captured here is very beautiful The expression in his eyes show the determination to get an even larger harem. The beautiful warm colors of his coat and the dead ferns make the photo even more beautiful. The details in the stag and the OOF FG ferns are both wonderful.
TFS,
Niek

Hi Karan.
It is simply fantastic. Subject is unbelievable. It is very interesting where did you stand at shooting moment? Bravo. Extremely expressive scene and impression of stag "face". Surrounding are superb and quality of the image is outstanding too. My congratulations and many thanks for sharing of the true masterpiece.

Hi Karan

I've been wanting to congratulate you on this one for some time, but either forgot or didn't have the time :(
Anyway, this is a terrific capture!
Your timing here is really the "piece-de-la-resistence" :) You managed to catch this stag tight as he appeared from the ferns and the result is something with an enormous amount of impact and drama.
Excellent sharpness and use of shallow DOF, too.

Bravo and TFS

Hello Hester,
This is a fabulous and very well-timed capture. Those antlers look most impressive as they appear out of the ferns! Wonderful light and colours and very fine sharp details too. The white tips of the antlers really stand out against the dark background! Superb!
