Photographer's Note
I wanted to take some sunset pics from Griffner Berg, there was fog down in the valley... then I saw some stags coming to a feeding place.
I made a crop to have them closer, that΄s no problem with the full format chip. Added some contrast to make the breath brighter.

Hi Christian.
Very smart and good title and photo.

Well done.

mmmmm....Ich liebe Hirschragout...und Rehschnitzel....aber ich muss diese eleganten Tieren nicht lebending sehen, denn die sind so suess!
dennoch handelt es sich um ein tolles Bild, das gut zum National Geographic passen wuerde

I would definitely crop wider but anyway like that intimate flashback from the morning walk for cup of caramel macchiato to Starbucks at Park Av.:)
Ok.. I'm joking but anyway hope you'll continue your NY series..

hallo christian,
der Augenblick ist fast intim, der Blick in den Augen des kleineren Hirsches ist super-zaertlich...
besonders schoen ist das Ruecklicht, macht das Atem der beiden echt zu einem (atmosphaerischen) Eye-catcher.
schoenes Wochenende,
c.

Hi Christian
The positions of the animals are dynamic but what really makes this so original is the mist which creates so much atmosphere.

Hello Christian,
This is an excellent shot! I like the effect of the back lighting on the breath and the golden rim it gives to the heads of the animals.
A great crop and a good title, he really seems to be protectign his "girl".
Have a nice weekend,
Dasha

La tua immagine θ di grande suggestione per via della luce radente disegnata dal respiro del cervo.

Helo C!:)
Haha, it took me awhile to figure out how to post a critique with this "new" TE look :) But I said to myself if there is a photo worth praising...it is this one. I absolutely love it! The light...so warm yet on a opposite "canvas" of cold air. The steam is a perfect touch... it speaks of 2 different stories... the story of already mentioned cold environment and a possible story of anger and protection of that fragile beauty in the second level of this absolutely marvelous capture.
My greates compliments
and helos from a neighbour :)

Hi Christian,
ein sehr gutes Foto. Besonders gut getroffen ist der Atem des Hirsches - erhellt durch die ersten Sonnenstrahlen. Klasse. Habe letzten Herbst auch auf kapitales Wild "angesessen" und versucht, einen guten "Schuss" zu landen, aber es war immer zu dunkel, oder ich kam nicht nahe genug dran, ohne die Tiere zu stφren.
Daher meinen Respekt!
MfG, Bjφrn

What to say? Simply Amazing! Stupendous! The Light is superb, and Photography is all about it.
However I wonder why you cropped? The full frame showing their legs may perhaps have been award winning.
Cheers, Blue
