The gathering

The gathering. I was able to photograph this group of Red deer on this little ridge in the Andujar region in Spain in the month of November. There was a beautiful autumn sun out that afternoon and the deer calmly gathered in small groups before the night started. I underexposed to get the last colours of the day.
