A Morning At Richmond Park

I visited Richmond Park on a much better day than my trip to Winkworth Arboretum.  The sky was blue, it was frosty underfoot and the low morning sun was gave some lovely light.  I was in search of rutting deer.  Sadly, the rut seemed to be over.  I did find one stag with a small harem of hinds and a few younger males. The big male was making his presence known with some enthusiastic bellowing.  At the right angle his breath caught the morning light.  I spent ages trying to capture this, the first shot here being my most successful.
