Stags at war

[Mrudul Godbole]

Thought of posting something different from Tigers and Leopards :-).

Photographed this at Bandhavgarh.

Canon 50D, 100-400mm L IS USM, ISO 200, f6.3, 1/640, hand held.

Comments and critiques welcome.

Nice to see this:) The light is good and so is the feel! What was the focal length you shot this at? I feel a looser composition/ wider perspective with more habitat all around the stags will make this image work like magic:)

Bhargava,

They were quite close to the gypsy. I photographed with my 100-400mm lens at around 285mm. I could have zoomed out more but then there was a tree on the left and some bushes on the right, so thought composing this way. Thanks for the comments.

Nice to see stags sparring with each other. It is tough to get the details due to the grass and bushes. However, you got it nicely. The light was good. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi
