HI jack, this is nice. I love the heads back bugle pose you have caught here. I think this is the bull we were seeing last week when I was there, but he had moved out of the meadows and into the timber.

Jack, Nice comp w/ the two of them. I like the bugling(sp?) pose and the full rack.

Nice light, color, and timing to get them both vocalizing. She was probably telling him to keep the noise down .

I think you got the rare elk duet. There weren't many to choose from this year.

I like the poses and the dual open mouths. Your exposure looks fine and the lighting is pleasing. It would have been nice to have a more eye level perspective. One thing I would have liked is for some space between his antler and her butt. Thanks for sharing such grand examples of elk!
