Stag Weekend

Had given up hope of seeing one of these - we were leaving the Highlands for the long drive home via the GlenCoe range, the light failing, and lo, there on the side of the road he stood, blowing raspberries at us. Not a faked shot in case you were wondering - background is real, animal is real - nothing superimposed. I've softened the shot with some Orton effect as the high ISO made it grainy, and enhanced the colours and contrast.
