Hey, I think I got a photo of the same one this year! j/k I like how the elk's brown coat is set off by the grayish blue skies.

Sharp image of this bull resting on the snow. I like this low point of view.

The low perspective emphasizes the grandeur of those antlers!

HI Marc,

Welcome to the NPN Fauna Gallery - always nice to have another fellow Canuck on-board! I like the low angle here and that colouring of the elk (plus that rack!) make it stand out very well. The image looks sufficiently sharp, but seeing a larger version (that actually is larger! :wink: ) would help in assessing that.

Cheers...looking forward to seeing more images (and, of course, comments) from you...

Very nice image. IMHO the dark sky sets the elk of well. There is a white streak of something to the right of the elk which is distracting. I would suggest cloneing it out. Thanks for sharing.
