C'est pas ma faute, je suis anglais.
don't know how you manage to see so much in a flying bird and reproduce it so well - even with the explanations, I believe there is still a certain amount of 'witchcraft' involved - excellent return to the forum! I agree with you for the stag, cropped antlers really give a dynamic feel to the composition,, you can feel the beast 'pushing on' which would have completely been lost had you kept the antlers in - you made the right decision.
