All angles, loose feathers and infinite postures - a real challenging subject in summer dress. I'd love to capture two in display mode, with heads shaking, ear tufts spread and necks reaching to the sky. These are my first 'benchmark' efforts this summer but anyone know how I can give them crests instead of antlers? Russ</blockquote>
