Reaching for the

A stag at Kabini reaching up for the greens

Though the image looks like bright light falling on the animal, the ISO had to be held at 800 for a decent shutter speed to capture this action.

Canon 400D, Canon 100-400 EFL, F5.6, 1/600, ISO 800 Focal length 315 mm

That's a nice pose. A little more space at the top would have been good.

Nice behaviour captured. the vertical looks nice.

If you had used spot metering probably, you could have got a higher shutter speed, so you could have afforded to reduce the ISO. the noise is slightly visible in the background.

Agree about the noise, but a nice image nevertherless.
