This photograph, “Monarch of the Glade,” captures a fleeting moment of quiet majesty in the heart of a woodland sanctuary. The subject, a mature fallow deer stag, stands with an air of serene dignity, his impressive antlers reaching skyward like the branches of the surrounding forest. The soft, dappled light filtering through the trees creates a dreamlike atmosphere, highlighting the delicate texture of his coat and the intricate structure of his antlers.
