I like your "eye" for a shot Kay, and I do like the stag shot too, not so keen on the editing tho, but photography is very personal, and if it pleases those that took it, then its right, so very well done.
Hope you dont mind, I have boosted the contrast a little and sharpened it, you can see much more detail, and should you be printing it, you would need to do this also to get the best out of a print.
