He's gorgeous and really looks like he's smiling! You can really see their power in this shot, with those huge antlers and the bulk around his neck but there's also the nice juxtaposition happening with his friendly face.

Certainly a magnificent animal, and you have clearly managed to get very close. The woodland in the background provides good context, but I do find the composition slightly awkward - its all subjective, but I would probably have pulled back somewhat to get more of the stag into the frame.

I really like the detail & DOF, I'm not a big fan of the crop though. I would've loved to see more of this guy if it were possible.

i think the whole bady would have made a bigger impact, rather then just a head shot
