Deer shots

Hi folks,

I was in the Phoenix Park today trying to get photos of deer.

I cropped two of the shots, what do you think?

Btw, the Phoenix Park is Dublins equivelent of Central Park. Dublin Zoo, the Presidents residence and the American Ambassadors residence are within its boundaries. It is very popular, especially in the summer.

Pretty cool... where are those deer from, I have neve seen anything like them.

They are fallow deer, link here for more info : http://www.blueplanetbiomes.org/fallow_deer.htm

They are quite tame and you can get reasonably close to them. They do huddle together though so it was hard to get a good shot of an individual deer. The stag was particularly camera shy.

This is the best shot I got of the stag.

I think I like the second crop the best. It is a cool profile view of the stag and others.
