All right another top ten, but seriously now, quit wasting all these good scores on non oly challenges. =)

Impressive shot and processing.

Comment by Purple_Girl:
I'm not sure on the processing here, everything around the stag looks to be in motion blur somehow, even the tree. I can see that that might help make the deer the focal point but personally, I'd find it more attractive if everything was more in focus. Still, he's a beautiful animal and you've captured him at a great moment.

One of the best in the challenge!!! Love the atmosphere of this shot – not to mention the color tones, composition, animal’s pose and post-processing.

Simms? Wonderful composition and technicals, and the bellowing stag couldn't be a better subject, but I am somewhat unsure whether I really like the processing style. I have revisited this a number of times and my vote hovers between 7 and 10 - so I shall go for 9....
