The interplay of light and shadow creates atmosphere. Last week I was at a small game reserve stocked with bisons, fallow deer, and wild boars. I normally would call it the golden hour but it turned out to be more of a silver hour. The light was very unusual.
I left the first shot untouched but in this second shot I enhanced the luminous quality of the stag by darkening the sides and the background.
Freshly fallen snow changes the atmosphere.

Wonderful post. Especially loved the stage (perfectly edited) and your closing scene which would make an amazing winter holiday card! Beautifully done.
