Andius says:
Several mornings I’ve been to the Oostvaardersveld in the Netherlands. One of the public hides is ideally located for backlight photography in spring and summertime. This specific morning it was slightly foggy. While I was focused on the area of the sunrise, I kept looking to the right as well. Suddenly I saw a Red Deer entering the first island through the water. I quickly changed position and started taking pictures. The distance is quite far, but still I did not want to zoom in fully. The surrounding was so beautiful that I concluded it should play a great role in the picture.

About Andius:
Netherlands
As a young father I photographed mostly my children, but from time to time also birds. Only when the kids grew up and digital photography came up, I started to do more bird photography. In 2006, my new partner stimulated me to go on safari and to invest in better equipment. Since then I fell in love with Africa and wildlife photography. I still photograph regularly outside the Netherlands, but as I do have more time recently I also spend a lot of time in the nature in the Netherlands. I love to experiment and have received a highly recommended in Lowlands Photo Contest and in the Groene Camera. In 2018 I also became tour guide at Wildpix Travel.
