What a delightful pose and capture, Harold. You couldn't have planned this setting better if you had tried to. He looks very regal and quite content among the buttercups. I very much like the mood of this beautiful image.

Great shot Harold. He sure is a beautyful buck, and just by the way he poses proudly, I wold say he knows it. Lighting is perfect, leaving the far background in the dark, keeping the eye on the foreground. All those sparkling yellow bubbles put a lot of joy in the scene. How did you manage to have the buck just at the pace where there is no buttercups? Great success.

Really, Harold, do you pay them to pose for you? Great job!

Very peaceful landscape Harold. It looks as if the buck has found his safe place to relax. The buttercups surrounding the buck are what makes this image very unique and calming.
