Imperious Stag

This Stag had been seeing off a challenger by a mud pool in Richmond Park. In this image he’s in the process of rounding up his harem who had scattered during fight. Chin raised and antlers back he looks imperious as he smells the air and scans the woods for his lost Hinds. His muddy antlers add to the macho appearance of a proud, arrogant and dominant Stag.
