The Living Forest (28) : Red Deer by Mark Billiau.

The Living Forest (28) : Red Deer

I made a 3 days hike in the ‘Hertogenwald’ (2nd greatest forest of Belgium).
In this forest there is a relative great place (150 ha) where Red deer (Cervus elaphus) are kept in half freedom. The reserve itself is not open to the public, unless……. the local forester is your friend (yeah, I know, I’m a lucky man).

Early autumn, during the mating ritual, called the rut, mature stags (males) Red deers compete for the attentions of the hinds (females).
The stag has a very distinctive and loud "roar" during the rut and can be heard for miles around in the forest. The hinds are initially attracted to those stags that both roar most often and have the loudest roar call.
Males also use the roar call when competing with other males for females during the rut, and along with other forms of posturing and antler fights, is a method used by the stags to establish dominance.

It’s truly a magical moment standing eye to eye with a roaring Red deer !

A big thanks to CsomorLászló for the kindly nomination of this picture.

Absolutely much BETTER Mark .....
Some times you can not avoid these highlights ( burned out spots) due to harsh sunlight and dark objects in front ..
You did an excellent job in editing ......
Compliments......

Fantastisch,Mark!!
Ein ganz imposantes Tier ,das Röhren kann man fast hören,auch steht der Hirsch in einem tollen Licht.
LG.Gaby


Christine Ge., 16.03.2009 at 12:15h

Mir gefällt diese Bearbeitung besser als das Original. Die Farbe des Grases ist natürlicher und nicht so dominant. Der prachtvolle, röhrende Hirsch kommt dadurch besser zur Wirkung.
Gruß Tina

Hallo Mark,
der Hirsch rückt hier mehr in den Vordegrund als bei dem Original, aber die Beine hätteste du ganz mit drauf nehmen können... ;-)

LG
Reinhard
