Thanks for your comments

Now a little owning up here the picture was taken in landscape but it also included another deer that I didn't really like so a little cropping and I produced what I thought was a better shot albeit I also would have preferred a little more space around and for the stag to "jump" into.

Having looked again I think I do now prefer the landscape picture as here and the other deer is not too distracting

No idea why but it doesn't seem to want to load the picture as normal

Hi Mike I see what you were on about with the other deer in the background ,although defused its not done enough so as not to detract enough from the main subject the jumping stag a touch of sods law even trying to do any photoshop would prove hard

You could spend some time cloning the other deer out but how succesfull I don't know? It would work better to apply a mask to the other deer and perhaps some of the distance too (to make it easier as well as effective) and blur it - try a bit then a bit more see what happens - but I actually like the above and it doesn't worry me that its tight - I have shots like this cos the deer have been too close to my big lens but I just regard it as a chance to get really sharp hair detail! I like it!
