Forgot about the thread, meant to say thanks to all that commented ... appreciate it.

Looks like we may be going again in March, hopefully I will get a day in the botanical gardens.

That's a different picture isn't it?

Anyway, like that one better as the crop is closer and he's looking straight at you. Only thing to do now is clone out that tuft of hair? hanging down by the rear legs as it's quite distracting.

John - thanks for the comment, unfortunately the shrubbery in the foreground couldn't be avoided and as you can see, they are fully aware of my presence even thou I was 30m+ from them.

No one's gone for my fav, #1 I love the light and the dark BG !!
I always wanted to be a "John", suits me better than Mike imo

As for the first one, yes the light is great and the stance of the stag is better than number 2 but I think it needs a shadow boost to bring out the facial features more. Just my opinion of course.

Shot yesterday morning in glorious conditions, a decent frost, minus 4 on leaving home at 5am with a 100 mile drive
Now that's commitment

Number 2 for me, I would have said 3 but the little bit of shrubbery in front spoils it a little (I know it probably couldn't be helped though).

Not exactly.

Just stepping back from photography for a while. Sold my Canon 7D and K-3II, K-1 to go and I will probably just keep the M5 for the time being.

If it sells it sells, if not then I won't be exactly upset.

Hi Stu, still available (it's not like I have been exactly pushing it though)

Did something I never thought I would do ... sold my Pentax DA* 60-250mm f/4

Bought a Sigma 500mm f/4 Sport .... Nikon mount, currently deciding whether to buy a D500, D850 or get it converted to Canon mount (although I do have it up for sale on another forum in the meantime)

The thing about Autistic people is we are resistant to change. Very resistant.

Tell me about it, my son is autistic (amongst other things) and it can be an absolute nightmare at times, I often wonder what's going on in his head. It's a good thing we love him so much I guess but it just goes to show there are things out in in the world that are a lot more important than the choice of a camera.

On a lighter note, adapter looks good, I ordered something similar for my Canon M5 but not quite so fancy.

But that is my other point, why do they feel the need to do this ... what good does it do, I don't want to know why someone who has posted 24 times in as many months feels the need to change brands ... just go.
read how many posts I've made over a dozen years, and remember I was a fanboy that defended the brand in many of those posts.
I was referring to the OP who has had a Pentax camera for 2 years and made 24 posts in that time. To be honest Don I am surprised it has taken you this long to jump over to Sony, I would have bet on you doing it years ago.
